Will aperture stop down/open aperture metering work with a Super Takumar on the K1000 + M42 adapter?

The Spotmatic F will give you open aperture meeting with Super Multi Coated or SMC Takumar lenses. That's a big plus over a Spotmatic. It's tough as nails and said to be almost identical to a K1000, save for the mount. The only minus is that the meter is always on when the lens cap is off. However, I never found that to be a problem, as I'm somewhat religious about keeping a lens cap on my camera when I'm not shooting.
