Isn't this why you are selling? I bought all of my M lenses from a guy who was selling Pentax to buy Nikon.

Pentax users got nothing from > the removal of the aperture simulator. Canon FD users got the shaft. At least the ones I know feel that way. They lost the ability to move forwards with their present lenses. Pentax users have not lost that ability, they can still take pictures with their ancient lenses on the newest DSLR cameras. The aperture simulator has not been removed from Pentax DSLR cameras. William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
