That's precisely my point. With any K/M lens that spot is metal, meaning that it is shorted as if it were always in the A position. If the spot is open (disconnected) then the camera reads the simulator arm aperture setting.
So, a closed pin means that the camera is supposed to control the aperture appropriately. But it's not the case on a Super Program where, using an M/K lens, F22 is F22 and the camera is NOT controlling the aperture. But with an A lens, in A position, the same electrical CLOSED connection condition exists, but the aperture is treated according to the camera's control preferences (per the meter or flash control). The ONLY electrical difference remaining would be the coding positions! Is that not the case? >From: Mike Ignatiev<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >then why not just short it on the body, permanently? > >mishka
