It's the same old song from JCO every time the subject comes up. I think we all know his view on this by now. I don't recall, but does he have a Pentax DSLR?
I will say this, however, it may be easier for some to adjust to the "green button" approach than others. For example, having come from meterless cameras and using hand held meters, pushing the AEL button on the DS and, if desired, checking exposure with the DOF lever, sure makes using pre-A lenses easy. However, I still shoot more than 50% of my shots using my own exposure guide, the one that's built into my head, rather than using the meter in the camera at every shot.
