BTW, you don't have to change the aperture of an a R lens on a D700 to get the proper exposure. You only need to turn the ring if you to change DOF. My point about TLRs was that you don't always need total automation. Just like AF. Some people can't live without it. I can take it or leave it most of the time. In fact, unless I absolutely need it, I think I photograph better without it. I think it's an F bayonet conversion is a great. I honestly thought it would be more of a PITA that it turned out to be. I'm finding that TTL DOF viewing isn't a bad thing. I just converted a mint 50 Summicron for less than the cost of a Nikkor or Sigma 50/1.4. I never thought using Leica glass would be less costly than using Sigma glass. Dave R
