The settings for older lenses are generic. When set for a 35/f2, for
example, that setting is for any 35/f2. It is still a very useful feature.

The settings that are lens specific are the focus settings, which are keyed
to the info the body gets from the D chip. I'm not so sure that those
settings aren't applied to all identical lenses.
Still a good feature. Imagine if your E3 could first accept your OM lenses,
and then allow them to be used with auto exposure in aperture priority mode
as well as metered manual. At ISO 24,600.
