No, it will just say 2.0 for any setting. That's all.
Without a chip it will just say -. Although there are now adapters with
chips that can be programmed to give you the widest aperture of yourlens
and the focal lenght. I have one of these but didn't bother to program it.
I've tried the chipped adapters but couldn't find an advantage.
Focusing is better with the eye and with flash it is even a disadvantage.
Cheers,
Michiel Fokkema
