It's fairly simple actually, you set the camera to allow shutter release
with the lens set to other than A
Set the mode to manual, (M).
Select the shooting aperture and then either compose and instantly meter
the scene by
pressing the green button, on a D or the exposure lock on the Ds or DL.
On the D you also have the option of holding the DOF lever in which
gives you continuous stop down metering.
This may also work on the Ds and DL but I have no experience trying this
with either of those cameras.
It's easier to do than to describe.

So I'm curious...
I read the Pentax DSLR manuals regarding use of old
lenses on the *istD/DS/DL, but they seem kinda vague
to me, and not very confidence-inspiring for using old
glass on the new bodies. Exactly how are the old
lenses used on the DSLRs?
