It's easy to use K lenses on a PZ-1p. Due to a mechanical linkage, the
camera will know where the aperture ring is set, so you don't have to use
stop down metering. It will meter wide open and stop the lens down
automatically just like the A, F and FA lenses. What you will lose is
matrix metering, aperture display in the viewfinder, and you will have to
use the aperture ring to set the aperture, you can't set it from the body.
You'll also lose exposure modes where the aperture ring has to be set to A
(program, shutter priority).
Hope this helps,
Todd
