Ted and other LUGs,

I had this query made of me as to a 90/2.9-R non-ROM lens:

>Is this true? "

I answered that as far as I knew it was not true and that the ROM chip was
used to adjust to zoom lens settings and measure the f stop a little better.
I'm sure that it has no affect on A, P, or S settings.  What about measuring
with the flash meter on F???  I don't remember the instruction manual saying
anything about this, but then, it has been while since I had an R8 or the
manual.
