The "F" number will never show when using a pre-A series lens like the one you have - as John has said the camera and lens have no electronic connection so the camera has no way of knowing what you've set the lens to. Hence you'll only ever se "F--" and you'll need to read the aperture value from the lens barrel itself.

Put the camera in (M)anual mode, adjust the aperture ring on the lens to the desired f stop, press the Green button to let the camera take a reading, fire the shutter - job done!

Don't forget to focus as the camera won't be able to do that for you either. And when you switch it on it'll ask you for a focal length - just scroll to "50" and press OK (this bit's to let the SR mechanism know what length of lens it's compensating for).

By the way, the Green Button has many different hats that it wears depending on which mode the camera is being used in - all of them rather useful!

You might get one with the 645D but I wouldn't hold your breath for a K-mount version...

No.

It's a crying shame really because this I-10 could have been that camera - such a golden opportunity missed!

By the way, before buying a G11 check out the Ricoh GR/GX series - all the features you're after and my three-generations-old GR-D will happily let me sync external flashes up to 1/2000. Proper external manual controls and much less bulk than the Canon too. The sort of thing I was really hoping Pentax would make...

I've never had an SD (or CF for that matter) card failure *touches wood*

Number 5 for me - love that checkerboard reflection in the chrome

Good luck Dan, I've been trying for a long time to find one of those but nobody who owns one seems to want to sell it.

You learn something new every day

I just looked in Hedgecoe's "The Photographer's Handbook" (again!) and there's no mention of FOV in the index, several pages on AOV though.

I still think they're the same thing

I could have lived without the interchangeable lenses but I'm disappointed the spec isn't a little more high-end (really hoping for an LX3 beater). It looks cute though so I'm sure they'll flog a fair few anyway, just not to me.

Is there one? I just thought that was two ways of referring to the same thing?
