Agreed. K and M lenses are much easier to use than screw-mounts - unless
you use them wide open.

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.

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.
