I'm not sure I understand you.
On my DS, now with firmware rev 2 installed, with an M/K-mount lens
mounted and the camera in Manual exposure mode:
- Touching the shutter release or tugging the DoF preview lever
activates the metering system.
- The AE-Lock button performs the function of the D's Green button..
It briefly stops down the iris and sets the shutter speed complement
to the currently set aperture.
- Using the DoF preview will show you the difference in EV between
the currently set manual exposure and what the meter is seeing. The
DoF Preview button does not set the shutter speed, only the AE-Lock
button (or the thumbwheel...) does that.
Does the DS2 operate differently from this? This is how the DS has
always operated.

I remember using a non-updated DS and hating how I had to meter
with my old M lenses, but the DS2 behaves differently -- not
perfect, but better. Does the DS firmware upgrade add the same
functionality to the DS?
With a non-A lens on the DS2, metering is activated by hitting DOF
preview on the collar around the shutter button. If you're in
aperture priority, it sets the shutter speed. If you're in manual
mode, it tells you how many stops over or under you are.
It operates a lot like a Spotmatic with the addition of aperture
priority.
