No that;s the stop down lever. The aperture simulator is a resistor and
pin that transfers the set aperture on a lens to the camera body for
wide open metering.

It was, essentially, a little doohickey inside the body end of the lens mount
that pressed a tiny pin on the older lenses that would make the lens stop down
to chosen f stop. It went away when Pentax ate from the tree of digital
knowledge, but many still await its return.

My money's on Cotty NOT eating his hat. They'll bring back aperture
simulators before we see a full frame SLR from Pentax.
This seems to be an old inside joke on PDML, but I still don't
understand what an aperture simulator is supposed to do.
Yeah, it simulates the aperture, but to what purpose?
Can someone explain it in REAL SIMPLE terms?
For reference, I have the following Pentax cameras to use as examples I
can look at it while I'm reading the explanation if any applies:
K10D
*ist-D
PZ-1P
LX
Super Program
K1000
Auto-110 Super
