Thus inspired, I spent 10-15minutes doing this, using my trusty K 2.8/105mm on the DL: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/sets/72157594178238744/

Works great. I even find think that the AE-L button is better positioned on the camera than the green button on the D. Brilliant! Thanks again all (Lou, Godfrey and others) ! The best things about Pentax really is this 1. Great lenses 2) Backwards Compatibility (to some extend) 3) The great guys that participates in the PDML Regards Jens Bladt http://www.jensbladt.dk -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Jens Bladt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 26. juni 2006 18:04 Til: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Emne: RE: DL and K-lenses - "other than a" Woo-hoo ! Thanks Lou! Great, so it works like the green button on the D! I am very pleased. :-)) Now my only wish (concerning the DL) would be to make TTL flash work right. Do I really need a PTTL flash for this? I guess I wont be buying into this, since I have invested quite heavily in Metz (45's and one 60 as well as one AF500 FTZ), which works fine one the D as well as my much loved MZ-S.

When the scene changes, just hit AE-L again. You must first go into the custom menu and set "Use Aperture Ring" to "OK" though. Just leave that as the default. I believe that this replaces the Green Button on the D.
