So one thing I am not exactly clear on with regard to AIS lenses. You set the max aperture in the non-cpu data. But what does that mean exactly? If I use the 55 2.8 micro, it sounds like I would set that to 2.8.
But what happens if I spin the aperture dial on the lens to another f stop? Can the camera read that? Or do I have to change the non-cpu data?
And if that is the case, why do they call it "maximum aperture" vs. "aperture."
Obviously I am confused as to how one uses these lenses on this camera. The the "func" button can act as a speedy way to change that setting doesn't help.
Any help appreciated. I imagine I'll be buying that lens in any case, but knowing how much work there is in figuring out the exposure would help.
