Does this mean the diaphragm and shutter wheels on the C can turn=20 INDEPENDENTLY of one another without having to push any buttons or=20 applying pressure somewhere? That is what I'm looking for. I don't want=20= them to be connected. They are independent on my Automat Model 4 and I=20= prefer that. The EVS system makes the wheels turn together once you've=20= set exposure, is that right? And that comes on the D but not the C? Please let me know if I understand this correctly. I'm on Nyquil so I'm=20= a little groggy...
