When you say you let the camera handle the exposer do you mean through shutter speed?

Re: Speed Booster
That looks like a nice lens, let us know how it works out. It almost looks like they too a 17-50 and put in speed boosterish technology to widen it out and get the extra stop.

Re: Speed Booster
doesnt work at all? Or just wont give me the extra f-stop? If thats the case I think I will just get a smart adapter because I dont know if it will work with my 80-200 either.
