Did you enable, Allow use of aperture ring, in the custom menu? If not
that's your problem. Once you do it will meter in every mode, wide open
and shoot wide open. Only manual will use the aperture set on the lens.

Hi David,
Thanks, but the shutter button doesn't even work. It's like the camera
is so confused it's shutting
itself down.

You never will. K lenses do not have data pins, and are completely
manual. You set the aperture by turning the aperture ring.
You need to shoot in M mode and use the Green button to meter.

Hi folks,
I can't get this stining camera to work. It won't let me set the F
stop with
a K lens. It just blinks
trying to get me to set the f stop, I did exactly like the book
says, but it
still blinks.
Help,
Steve

Don't lose heart! They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthily search.
