Just to ask if Nikon G AF lenses, (or any modern non aperture lense - the DX ones that have no aperture ring), can be used on M4/3
They will take a photo, manually focus, and can be correctly metered but there seems to be no way to change, (or see or know), the aperture, or of knowing what aperture has been used to take the photo
I have tested it against my DSLR and there seems no logic - i.e. I put my Sigma 10 20 f4/5.6 on the G1 and it needed 2.5 sec to take the photo at the correct exposure setting - did the same on my D300 and 2.5 sec = f10 to take the same photo in the same light conditions, same ISO etc., - i.e. I dialed in 2.5 secs on the D300 and f10 was the stop setting - if you see what I mean
Maybe it is distance related, (i.e. which f stop is used by the AF lens) - i will have to do a few more tests
the main reason I ask is that i could get a bit more "reach" (tripod - birds in the back garden), out of my 70 300 VR AF Nikon if I could use it on the G1
