If it's so friggin' simple, why don't you just do it and let us
all know when we can buy your camera at Wal-Mart.

So exactly what functionality does an auto-aperture M42
lens/body combination have that is not gained by an aperture coupler in a
K-mount?
IIRC, there aren't many of the millions of M42 lenses out there
that have open-aperture auto aperture. Most are auto/manual stop-down
metering.
