Mine has been, but I like Aperture priority a lot, and that is limited.
I still use them, and the majority of my lenses are either K or M42 (I
currently have 2 AF lenses, one of which is a DA, 2 K/M's and 2 M42's).

My use of non-A K lenses has never been limited. I use them
extensively and effectively. I have no problem pushing a button to get
a meter reading. But then I started with nothing but manual cameras.
To me, having an on-board meter is a luxury. I've used M-42 lenses as
well. The adapter makes them more of a chore to my mind.

It just occurred to me a couple weeks ago to put a screw mount lens on

free to point at me and laugh. I suddenly feel a multiple M42 lens
enablement coming on.
The sad part, and this was mentioned very recently in another thread,
is that the crippled mount limits the use of non-A K-mount lenses
while the old screw mounts work just fine. What the hell were they
thinking?
BTW, even with the lens stopped down the *ist's viewfinder is
surprisingly bright.
