For good reason too. I mean, if you can take pictures with your 30 year old lenses with virtually no loss of functionality, what more can you expect? I think Pentax may have made this decision 20 years ago when the "A" lenses came out. The linear actuator coupled with the lens coding in the contacts gave you all you needed to make the simulator redundant. Its now a vestige of the evolution of this mount. Pretty much like the human appendix, its there and can sometimes cause inflammation (like the aperture simulator periodically does on this list), but its utility is questionable moving forward. rg -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
