Dont be absure. I know what stop down one shot manual metering is. Spotmatic had that since 1964. ( Little easier on DSLR as it turns The shutter dial for you). I dont need to use the Pentax DSLR w K/KM to know what it Is. Its not the same as OPEN APERTURE AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE (Aperture preffered). Dont be silly. I dont need to go to Alaska to know it snows there. jco

Pushing 2 buttons instead of one is slowing down? I also shoot with K/M lenses, don't own as many as you, but 2 of my 3 main lenses are K/M (Kiron 28/2, SMC-M 50/2, SMC-A 70-210) and I shoot with a couple of screwmount lenses too. You don't shoot with a Pentax DSLR, so you don't know how simple it is in actual practice. Until you've tried it in the field, you won't. Experience is the telling point here (I thought it would be a hassle myself when I bought the D. It wasn't). -Adam J. C.
