When our local Pentax rep was in town a couple of weeks ago, I tried this with the M100 Macro. I set the aperture ring to f8.0, looked into the front of the lens and tripped the shutter at 1/8 sec. The lens DID stop down. It seems that all you lose with a K or M lens is metering. A hand held meter should work in these situations. Bill
