Who shoots green mode anyway? Sure, using old film lenses limits the number of modes you can use on the K5. For the lenses shown, only Av (Aperture priority) and M (Manual) modes are available. But Av is about as automatic as I want in most cases. I like to have the diaphragm and the ISO completely under my control.

I started shooting with a bridge camera about two years ago (the FujiFilm s8600). This was an attempt to bootstrap a photography interest of mine that had started in the early eighties (with an Olympus OM-1) – but which never managed to progress past the level of a novice, and hasn’t to this day. There was always something more important to do, other than to teach myself to use a camera. Now retired, I am devoting a lot of time to the task of catching up with the post millennium photography world.
