Wanted to explain in another way, if it wasn't clear enough.
I understood well a while ago, but wasn't sure it was clear enough to everybody.
And your point is???

I believe most of the newer film SLRs aside from the
*ist and ZX-30/50/60 assume you want to be in program
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 think you've answered your own question

To expand on Tom's ellipsis:
On film bodies without an aperture control thumbwheel, you take the
lens aperture ring off the A setting and use the aperture ring.
For lenses that do not have an aperture ring, those bodies without
aperture thumb wheels can control the aperture using Program

I did? I was afraid I suspected the answer, but wasn't sure. All I
know about Pentax bodies between the Spotmatic and the *ist I've read
on the internets, and we all know how reliable they can be.
Thanks David and Jon for the info.
That makes the design of the *ist 35mm even more curious --

The MX is manual only. Lenses set on A and lenses without aperture
rings can only be used wide open.
Fully stopped down, not wide open.
Wide open would be easier for hand holding;

I believe lenses set on A will behave as if set to f22 (although

becomes used to that mode of operation and those lenses, the migration

There are several Z- and MZ- (PZ- and ZX-, if you wish) bodies that allow
control of the aperture from the body. I am sure of the MZ-50, the Z-1 and
Z-1p.
Z10 doesn't (well it is a P and M only camera). Z20, Z50, Z70 will
also control the aperture from the body.
I suspect it couls also true
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
past
It depends on the lenses I think.
Sometimes A equals 22, sometimes 32 ( or aperture is unreliable, you chose :).
I guess that a lens showing 22 then A. You put that lens on your any
*ist or Z1 etc in AV mode. If you can select 32, than A equals 32.
Simple enough ;)

You're MZ-S assumption is correct.

Yeah, so.. say you have a DA 14mm.
You can use it on a SuperA/SuperProgram in either TV or P mode.
Of course it won't cover the full 24x36 frame but that's another story ...
