know that it works great with K and M lenses. It's not even an issue. You tap
the green button to meter. Not a problem. Easier than metering with many
Pentax film cameras. It's interesting that you're so adamant about this, but
you haven't tried it yourself. Very strange.

I don't know if the -DS I've got is much different than the -D,
but I know a few things where the crippled mount falls flat. The biggest
is flash... pretty much stuck with manual. The other ones are less
important... matrix metering, etc.
Oh, and of course the human fiddle factor of having to/forgetting
to go to 'M' mode when swapping to a non-A lens. For the most part,
however, it *is* a non-issue. How much more would it cost to add in the
coupler? If it were $100 I'd probably pay that. If it were $250, I'd
have to think about it. If it were $500, no way.
