Subject: RE: Camera engineering ( GREEN BUTTON has just officially DIED...)
NO my defintion of a monkey boy (YOU) is a person who settles for a camera that treats them like a brainless "gofer" instead of an intelligent photograper. Pushing buttons that don't need pushing over and over is like willingly taking punishment for somebody elses stupidity or greed. In your case its not that bad because you don't even realize your being punished because they have managed to brainwash you into thinking the button pushing is a good thing for you. I want a camera that has the good features we have had for the last 30 years with these lenses, not suddenly go back to tedious non computerized (hell, non electronic) exposure and metering modes FOR NO REASON...KM can still do these things and very easily.
Gee JC, if you'd have READ THE THREAD, you would have read about my K/M lens usage. If you read other peoples posts on the subject, you would realize that there are a lot of very talented and very smart photographers on this list who don't think this "lack" in Pentax DSLRs is a problem. If you had the brains of a gnat, you wouldn't intimate that the metering in any mode on a DSLR is non computerized or non electronic. Instead, you bleat about a camera you have never used, and you continue to insult people on list, now calling pretty much every Pentax DSLR on this list a brainless gopher.
Do you really see this as the behaviour of an adult? William Robb
