Paul, A, F, and FA series lenses, taken off the "A" aperture setting, operate identically with respect to the metering system compared to an M/K-bayonet lens that does not have an A setting. Try it. I did my original testing when I heard of this issue with both the Zenitar-K 16mm and FA28/2.8 lenses, with identical results.
