See my other reply, however your statement is still beside the point, it
would take 2 or 3 additional lines of code to support that functionality
in the *ist-D if it did support open aperture metering with K or M
lenses. That's what hyper-manual is all about. Plus you'd have Av mode
as well, just like you do with the K2 and ME. Think before you hit send.

KNob twiddling is just not as quick.

In what way is it easier? The fact that those cameras don't have an
automatic shutter speed? Sorry but that analysis is just so much
sophistry,
but to follow that logic, or lack there of, why not compare that to
other cameras that were designed for those lenses like the K2 or the
ME, it what way is the green button/AE lock method superior?
I personally have noticed inconsistent metering results with a
variety of K/M lenses when using the green button method. The meter
just isn't as accurate or responsive as the level of light decreases,
that's just a fact of life. I don't have those problems when the
lenses are used on the MX and LX. The saving grace of the D is being
able to check the histogram when exposure is critical, but in many
situations it would be nice to be able to just trust the meter.
Unfortunately just due to the nature of the beast you can't.
