Fuzzy thinking on my part - I was always assuming that since the SLR lens has some sort of aperture lever thingie that some sort of linkage must exist to transfer aperture info from the lens to the camera. After looking at your email and apply some underused brain cells, I suppose the meter on the M (M6/M7) measures.... the light directly through the lens opening since the aperture is immediately changed on the RF lens. Therefore, this adapter does not have to link the aperture setting because there isn't any! At 11:28 AM 11/25/2004, Raimo K wrote: >The adapter ha the focusing cam, not helical.
