Put film in it and check your long exposures.
The viewfinder exposure time is just an approximation for your amusement.
The actual exposure time is not calculated until the shutter opens.

That won't work. You'll end up with an orange image. Scanning both as a
negative would strip away the orange. But scanning them individuaslly and
combining them will result in an orange image. But I doubt that either method

Howdy Brian, if you take the lens off and face the front of

At about the 1 o'clock position, inside the lens mount ring,

Rotate this lever clockwise (push down) with a fingernail

The K 85/1.8 was selling for $350 to $400 a short time ago, but this is the new
