I would also think you could: 1. take a reading with your handheld meter, or by guessimate. 2. set the aperture on the lens. 3. set the shutter speed on the camera. 4. take the photo.

The only way I can get this to work somehow, is to hit the green button and then to correct shutter speed. So when in M,
1) stop down the lens as much as you like and remember the number of stops 2) frame 3) hit green button 4) correct shutter speed by the number of steps that you have stopped down the lens 5) shoot
Or did I miss something?

Hi Jim,
on 01 Dec 03 you wrote in pentax.list:
And a last trick: stop down the lens 3 times, set the exposure compensation to +3 and use the green button in M - now you have a nice working AE with an old K-/M-lens.
Isn't there supposed to be some incantation you say first before you do the last trick?
Just Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious...
Cheers, Heiko
