Originally posted by reh321 Nice try at re-igniting an argument. I refuse to be drawn by you into an argument - even if I were instructed by a Moderator to do so.
A small minority of us choose to continue using a solenoid-equipped camera within its new limits. LIVE WITH IT.
Nah, you get that wrong:
I have no problems with people whose Pentax bodies developed ABF to use manual or M42 lenses.
Why should I.
Here we had a great photographer and PEG Moderator mentioning something about using SMC Pentax A-lenses in A position which is not possible when a Pentax developed ABF. If you have a quick check you notice that he doesn't use any Pentax DSLR which could develop ABF! (Although his K10D and K20D use a solenoid, its the Japan solenoid which never failed as you know pretty well).
But Martin's main body is the K1 and he uses this one with SMC Pentax A-lenses and mainly in AV-Mode.
AV-Mode means A-Setting of his favourite SMC Pentax A-lenses.
I am not taking things literal for the sake of the word but I take things precise. Very big difference.
And you know that pretty well, that's why I tried to turn your attention to when somebody prooved you very wrong but you just wiggled out of it
saying:
I will not discuss this further - you will believe whatever you will believe.: That's a prime-example of what is called a
"strawman's argument"!
But this is good, I love primes, sometimes even those with squirly bokehs....
