Nothing has changed. The camera doesn't have the aperture simulator lever (or whatever the heck the thing is called). It will mount K lenses, and it will take pictures with them after you have told the camera to allow it, but you don't get a lot of metering options, and there are some wonks in the operation. It works pretty much as I expected it to when I was calling it a crippled whore. William Robb
