Zero impact? I disagree, if you wanted AE in the 1960's SLR, Pentax couldnt deliver. I find AE in any form much more of a landmark than the aperture priority AE ES pentax dished up 5 years later....BTW, Pentax did finally offer shutter priority AE with the A series cameras, 15 years after the leaders in that area.
