Sorry, you're right. I'm probably remembering my old nikon F, the lenses that didnt index were similar. What kind of meterless film cameras? I keep eyeing the Bersas...

Coming from the film world I prefer wide-open metering and composure. Since it takes an A or newer to link the aperture I try to go with those where possible. I have a 50 M 1.4 and will use it for night handheld stuff where it's going to stay open, but find my 50 A 1.7 to be much easier and quite sharp. With an A and up you can change the aperture via your controls, so no need to play with the ring at all. I strongly dislike trying to compose stopped down, hated that on my old Nikon too. For the price I would consider an FA 1.7, not ridiculously expensive and lets you have the autofocus.
