Mine has been, but I like Aperture priority a lot, and that is limited.
I still use them, and the majority of my lenses are either K or M42 (I
currently have 2 AF lenses, one of which is a DA, 2 K/M's and 2 M42's).

I bought a vivitar 20/3.8 in M42 mount for about $45 about 6 months
ago. Not the greatest lens, but it works, and the price was right. :-)
I also have a Jupiter-9 85/2 in M42 mount. Once again, not the
sharpest tool in the shed, but a very nice bokeh for people pictures.
Now if I could only afford

you can still find them on the Net, they are disappearing from local retail.
So I have bought another drive to do 16xes. 4xes are pretty much unobtainable

There is no green button on the *ist. That means non-A lenses have

of using screw mount lenses with this camera. I'm fairly happy at
this point.

Thanks Adam. I had forgotten who made the comment. The film *ist is
no different when it comes to M42 lenses.
Cost savings. The M42
I have (blush) 7 M50/1.4s, to donate one of their lives to
science was not a big sacrifice. ;-)
You're right though, I too have a need for intact K lenses.
This experiment was to see how it would do as a short
portrait lens.
I am now able to get the desired depth of field and proper
exposure
I'm thinking a Carl Zeiss Jena 20/2.8 MC Flektogon is the way to go for
now. $200-ish on eBay. And Super-Tak 85/1.9's are not too much more. but
I can be a real snob about glass in some cases (I'm a little hesitant to
