No, but the Nikon FM was similar. Shutter, aperture, focus, wind, rewind and clutch lock. ASA setting. The DS has more stuff, but in the end you can operate it in exactly the same way if you want. > WHen I shot film my mainstay was the 1.4 50mm and my 100 macro > which I still have > occasionally the 28mm got used -- and used more the harder it > became for me to focus - > I'd just st the hyperfocal distance thingy on f8 and let her rip I do the same even now sometimes. Manual focus with a 28mm focal length ... set f/11, set 12', everything from 6' to infinity is in focus. No need to deal with AF etc unless you want to. Some people say it's easier... Sometimes I don't believe them. ;-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
