Many buyers just plain don't want second hand gear! They want Pentax to make a new camera that functions with the lenses to a degree that they think is desirable. From what I've learned the new cameras will allow full diaphragm function in manual mode but without metering and that is as much as I would desire so I'm no longer bitching about that. Others are happy if the meter will work in stopdown mode and want Pentax to fix what SHOULD be simply a matter of the camera's CPU software. Still others want open aperture metering but that would require a mechanical aperture simulator for K & M series lenses. Some others want no less than every mode the lenses supported on their contemporary Pentax cameras, which brings Av autoexposure into the discussion. It's definitely too late for the impending cameras to get the last two functions, so we'll just have to cross our fingers for the future releases.
