Frankly, a camera with apeture priority automatism is not a fully automatic camera. The photog is always in control and decide how to take a picture... What creativity, control would you loose with an Hexar RF??? None, just set your exposure in manual mode. I can understand people not willing an AE because it might change the smoothness or whatever of the mechanics. But the argument of "loosing creativiy or control over exposure" due to aperture priority automatism is not sound. Bye. Michel Le
