Hi Alex,
The K lenses -- just like the A, F, & FA -- have a mechanical linkage in the
mount which tells the camera body where the aperture ring is set. Your
PZ-1p body will use open-aperture metering with a K lens, but because of
this mechanical linkage, the body will be able to tell where you've set the
lens aperture ring, and it will be able to adjust the meter reading
accordingly. When you depress the shutter, the body will stop the the
aperture for you. You don't need to depress the DOF button when metering.
Hope this helps.
