Well, in my book if the camera takes a stop down reading then it IS taking apeture into account. All I am concerned with is does the camera respond to changes I make manually to the apeture setting on the lens? Answer = Yes. And does it change the shutter speed accordingly? Answer = Yes. And does it dow this with old K and M mount lenses? Answer = Yes. Basically it provides AE operation via the green button. Not open apeture reading, which I agree would be nice, but good enough all the same given these lenses are nearly 30 years old in some cases. Not to mention the screw mounts.
