So...
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...
Thanks,
Craig
