Re: Questions on using manual only lenses

Yes, you have to open and close the aperture by hand. As long as your subject is static, no problem.  The most useful thing on the A-X1 is that if you press the upper wheel in manual focus you get a very good enlarged view of any part of the frame you may choose. Very practical in slow work, not easy to use with teles, you need very stedy hands. Lenses wit a very long focus throw are of course easier to focus.
