The thought never crossed my mind. I just figured that, since the K/M lenses didn't have the electrical contacts of the A series and later lenses, the multi point metering couldn't be implemented. No "speculation" on my part - just an acceptance of the situation.
While it might have been nice to know how to make the lenses provide multi segment metering, I really didn't care very much to waste time looking for a solution. Others here are so much better at fiddling around with such things. If it were an issue, I'd have just asked the list, and guys like Roberts would probably have an answer. BTW, isn't matrix metering what Nikon calls their system, and doesn't Pentax use the term "multi segment metering?" Are the two the same, or is there some difference between them?

Sorry, to make them cheaper. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
