Quite possibly, the majority on this list.

Pretty simple to make K lenses act like that.
Just remove, permanently or temporarily, the
aperture actuator lever. Voila', stop down Av!
I've done this to an M50/1.4, works fine.

Subject: M42 lenses on *ist bodies, or, I'm an idiot
It just occurred to me a couple weeks ago to put a screw mount lens
on
my *ist film body. Can anyone else say "aperture priority"? Feel
free to point at me and laugh. I suddenly feel a multiple M42 lens
enablement coming on.
The sad part, and this was mentioned very recently in another thread,
is that the crippled mount limits the use of non-A K-mount lenses
while the old screw mounts work just fine. What the hell were they
thinking?
BTW, even with the lens stopped down the *ist's viewfinder is
surprisingly bright.
