I would probably never use a super tak on my *ist D. I can't think of a single reason why I would want to do that. If I did, I'd probably shoot at a moderate stop like 5.6 with a longer lens, like a 135, then focus and meter at the stop. With a wide lens, such as a 35, I'd have to focus wide open. While I might think I had achieved focus at 5.6 with a wide lens, it would undoubtedly be somewhat less than critical focus. Logic and experience dictate that, and I don't like to compromise. But, once again, I have no reason to use screwmount lenses on my cameras.
More importantly, I would never debate this kind of silliness with JCO. This is my last post on this matter. Continue this nonsense as long as you wish. I won't be reading it.
