Interestingly, a few weeks ago, when I was on my holidays in Lemberg /L'vov/L'viv in the Ukraine, I bought a Russian Zenit 122K. This primitive SLR features a K mount without aperture simulator coupling ring! And it works! With stop-down metering! With all k-mount lenses!
Now if Zenit is able to implement this, Pentax should be able, too. Or is Pentax technology inferior to Zenit technology? ;-)

From Roland Karlsson on dpreview:
"I have been talking to Pentax Sweden.
The information I got was that Pentax see no profit in supporting the very limited number of users that still have working M lenses and that no new cameras will have the diaphragm coupling.
Now - not all information you get is reliable - but the answer I got was technically correct - so it is someone that knows what it is all about - at least on the technical level.
On extra info was - "development will go forward and not backward". I don't exectly know what this mean, so I leave it to you to make your own conclusions.
