Cory, There is no real benefit from this, in my experience. You can try this by shooting a cripple-mount film body with a pre-A lens (-50 or, I think -30, the -60 just does not fire). In that case, you need to explicitly dial in over/under exposure or set the ISO from the body. It was so unwieldy and error-prone that I ended up buying a -5n. > ... still much easier to put the $5 part back in of course... I would love this to be the case. Forget it.
