I cant apeak for anyone else but with the old film bodies, I adjust the Aperture ring with my left hand while holding The camara with my finger on the shutter release With my right. Thus, I can shift the AE aperture And shutter speed combination while still being Able to shoot at any moment. With manual shutter speed Changes, I have to take my finger off the shutter Release button to adjust he shutter dial, so its worse. jco

You can't just use your fore or mid finger to twist the shutter dial easily. My KX bodies, however, don't have as much friction that way. I think this depends on the body. I have 3 MX bodies and 4 KX bodies, so I suspect I have a reassonable sampling of the two. All of my MX bodies are equally stiff on shutter dial, and all the KXen are equally smooth; noticably better than the MXs. J. C.
