... cheated! (my ears are - again - very red). The *ist D took all photographs at full (open) aperture. What cheated me is that the *ist D actually really stops down, when fired. But aparently the lens is stopped down AFTER the shutter is closed again.

I just tried on f2.8, f8 and f22. All 12 images came out correctly exposed! That's kind of sensational, isn't it!?

I just found out, that sombody (me for sure) have been tampering with the Customs Setting and disabled the "F-stop other than A" setting. Having corrected this, my AF adaper WORKS FINE WITH MY OLD K & M lenses, like the 35mm, 105mm, 135mm and 300mm. (The latter will now produce photograps vith an angle of view equivalent to 1.5 x 1.7 x 300mm = 765mm - with autofucus, of course). YES!

I just got myself the AF adapter (60� off ebay UK). It works really fine, but: On the *ist D it doesn't work with K and M lenses - only with A (and FA, which is kind of useless). The focusing mechanism is not activated at all, by the camera. Not even in M setting. Why is that???? Is there a trick to make it function with M and K lenses on the *ist D, which is what I want it for??? On the MZ-S it works with all lenses, including.

Though of course if the writings on the lens were in gold... You know... Color match... Well, it means that if I wait long enough I will be able to get some hi fi AF optics at cheap prices too... I am kinda thinking I should slowly but surely go AF to prepare my way into digi land... Congrats on your next enablement... Boris
