Getting film based SLR.

Well....FYI,

Why quote someones user interface experience when its better to go out there and get hold of one. No need memorizing the functions as there is a menu driven user interface....if you can use a digital camera with menu driven function, this one on the Dynax 7 is a breeze...

You can even preset two programs according to your normal needs or special secret prize winning settings.......

In case when you need it......its merely a nob turn away..

If you can't remember the functions, it means you don't need them at all. So............

not really. bluestrike is actually refering to me.

1: how often do you need timer ?
2: how often do you need to bracket ?
3: how often do you need mid-reload?

These are only a few examples, if I need to use these functions, I will refer to the book(which is always in my bag).

Right!

Actually, firstly, the aperture ring is not a Nikon thing. It's the traditional way - even Leica, Hasselblad, Contax, etc lenses has an aperture ring. Old Canon FD lenses, Minolta MD lenses all have aperture rings.

Back in the old days, (as in like 15 years ago), when we learnt photography, the only way to adjust aperture is through the aperture ring, and shutter is via the shutter dial. Regardless of make, these 2 will almost always be in the same place - shutter dial near the shutter button, aperture ring on lens. People who used to use manual cameras will appreciate that.

Now, with all those funky electronics in modern cameras and funky functions (90% of which you don't use), and with the increase in precision of exposure control (you can now adjust aperture in 1/3 stops as opposed to typically 1/2 - 1 stop on the aperture ring), the aperture ring has been rendered useless by something called the command dial. And camera makers start to cut cost by taking the aperture ring completely off the lens coz it's no longer required (think Nikon G lenses, Canon lenses, Minolta lenses etc)

This new fangled dial doesn't feel shiok to the older users, just doesn't feel right. When I first got my F100, I actually set the custom function to let me adjust apertures via the aperture ring - the traditional way.

Yes, I do know how to make it work, but I have no idea how it works.

And why do we need to set it to f22 (or smallest aparture) and then lock it using a switch when not using Ap mode?

Wheee....... I'm back on the dark side after selling off my G2. Currently on a eos 30 until i have enough moolah to get the d60 :bsmilie:

with the command dial, i get all sorts of cool f-stop numbers I've never seen before... f/6.7, f/9.5... so exciting!

So that the camera can open it to the selected f-stop? IF you take out the lens, you find that if you set to minimum aperture, you can 'open up' the aperture blades using the lever behind. But you can't do that when you set to the wide open setting.

That's the only advantage - you get 1/3 or 1/2 stop increments.
