Ok charlie, now i understand what it means, but not why i should miss it. It is the first time i hear from it. So i could hardly miss it. Thank you for your patience with my noob questions. Does this have a connection with my question about the Leitax, or with the D700 ? greetings, axel ----- Original Message ----- From: Charlie Falke To: leicareflex@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, December 01, 2009 11:00 PM Subject: [LRflex] Re: Leitax Axel Collier wrote: Hi steve and charlie thank you for your information. Charlie , sorry but what do you mean with "auto diaphragm" My English is not perfect. If you mean that i do not have metering, than i do not miss it to much. I am learning to use my AIS glass on my D40 too, so that should be doable for me. If i want fast results, i use my D40 + 35mm AF-s.Or my kit lens. But maybe you mean something else ? greetings, axel Axel, For me it means that you can focus and compose with the aperture wide open, and it closes down to the taking aperture at the same time the mirror rises, and reopens afterwards. I didn't mean metering, I am used to a handheld meter. -- Charlie Falke _____ /\ | __/\__/------/__) |(____\/_________/ "One test result is worth | |/ `o one thousand expert opinions" - Wernher Von Braun 0 N4003M "Imagination is more important than knowledge" - Albert Einstein------ Unsubscribe or change to/from Digest Mode at: http://www.lrflex.furnfeather.net/ Archives are at: //www.freelists.org/archives/leicareflex/
