Originally posted by GeneV I'd settle just for the aperture ring.
There are aperture rings and scales on MANUAL lenses.
That's just what I meant about too much work... too much work manually focusing, too much work looking at the scales, too much work learning how to use the scales, too much work buying manual lenses.
Pwew! This photography! Too much work!
Hell, apparently for the OP it is too much work flicking the DOF preview and LOOKING at the DOF... heh...
No we'd rather take some calculator's word for it. Do you know that many folks these days do not know their multiplication tables? Know why? Too much WORK!
That's why Mike's damn robots are so appealing.
Originally posted by tuco Well, those fancy digital cameras STILL have not implemented a composition error light in the HUD. When they finally add that, people will wonder how anyone ever go by without it.
LOL...

In a sharp robotic voice.
ROTFLMAO...
And let's add GPS, so that the "please move 10 meters" scenario is actually practicable. Then we can take this all to the ultimate expression. All we have to do is see what lovely photos others have taken, upload the photos to our cameras so they can get the coordinates; at that point, our cameras will help us navigate to the exact spot. We won't have to be concerned with any composition because we'll KNOW it is nice. After all, we will have already seen the result!
Yes?
We won't even have to guess what lens to use, and we certainly don't have to be concerned with aperture or other settings. Heck even the time of day will be there.
An open book! It's all there in the exif and our cameras will read it, take us there, set themselves, and viola! A perfect clone of something someone else did. But very little work! No creativity wasted here. Don't have any. Even better!
Why even LEARN about cameras or photography? Taking picture should be... like... using a phone.
Yes... TOO MUCH WORK!
It used to be "f/8 and be there"... now it will be "triangulate and take it."
Quote: I am sure is just a small calculation software that needs to be added...hope manufacturers will update their firmwares for it!!
Be careful for what you wish. I am sure it IS a simple calculation! Maybe Pentax will outsource this!
That would suck! Too much work...
woof!
