Put the Camera in M, set the aperture, then hit the AE lock button and
it will stop down, meter, and set the shutter to match the aperture. The
wide-open restriction is only for the other modes (Where it functions as
Aperture Priority and wide-open).

Hey Folks,
When I'm using my old lenses that do not have an "A" setting, like my SMC
200mm F4, on my *ist-DS, I gather that the "crippled mount" only allows me
to shoot with the lens wide open.
Is it true that I can't use this lens in my *ist-DS at F22, because the lens
doesn't close down during the exposure? I've been trying to figure out how
to do this, but haven't been successful.
