When claiming that Nikon's two top 'pro' Nikon film bodies (F100 and F5) offer matrix metering with manual focus lenses, you are obviously unaware that neither AI nor AIS lenses cannot provide matrix metering on either camera body. However, matrix metering was possible with the F5's predecessor, the F4, and with the F100's predecessors, the F801/F801s which were sold in the USA as the N8008/N8008s. Therefore Nikon have removed yet another important element of compatibility.
But I haven't claiimed that matrix metering works with manual lenses and the F100 and F5. Where should I have done that? But they can use the aperture ring on the lenses and aperture ring seems to concern Pentax users more than matrix or centreweighted metering. I have, for example, never seen any complaints about the fact that K and M lenses doesn't work with the multisegment metering. With A-lenses, the *ist can use the multisegment metering.
Best wishes Roland
