I believe most of the newer film SLRs aside from the

or shutter priority if the lens is set to A or lacks
manual settings.
The old bodies that don't utilize the A setting
pretty much can't use a lens that doesn't have manual
aperture
I believe that is a fair prediction based on what I've
seen with my cameras. Pentax manuals do state that
using the A setting on a body that doesn't support
it will result in incorrect metering.
As the aperture ring is closed down to A, the
aperture simulator tab on the mount continues to go
