Yes, I confirm that. The *ist features no diaphragm simulator, just like the
*ist D, hence with pre-A lenses it will meter and shoot at full aperture
only (aperture priority) or not meter at all (manual).

Can you call this compatibility? Pentax says it depends on how you define
compatibility...
In my opinion, accepting lenses and not metering/stopping down aperture is a
very poor compatibility.
