The seller is correct.. no cams, as it is a pre-set diaphragm. No
auto aperture.
However, both the 400 & 560 f6.8 Telyts work in aperture priority,
but with stop-down metering. So, your finder will get darker,
as you close the aperture.
This is usually not a problem, as the lenses are not particularly
fast, so you won't want to close them very far, and because they are
designed to be used wide open.
I've used my Telyt 400 f6.8 on my R5, R6, R8, R9, as well as assorted
Canon and Olympus cameras (with adapters) and it works beautifully on them all.
Cheers!
