Anyone here using K or M
Get one for me while you're at it. :p

Of course, John, you are right. Funny, somehow I managed to make
myself believe it was working.
I even shot some frames around today's pic in my photoblog in this mode:

(istD, K24/3.5)
I suppose that they ended up being usable because I was
Juan.
When John first got his D, I drove down to take a look at it and brought a
couple of K-mount lenses. At that time John was still learning about the
camera, and, of course, I knew even less about it. I don't think the
green button technique was even known at that time. Anyway, we fiddled
It would only take a simple firmware change to make the camera work
this way though...

I suggested that to Pentax in one of my many customer feedback
and support inquiries. It could be done in at least two ways:
- Allow manual setting of the aperture when in Av. It's the user's
That's pretty much how it happened. The green button technique
was not only unknown at the time - it wasn't even available. In
fact one of my posts shortly after that outing described what we
had discovered, and even described a hypothetical change to the
firmware that would make K/M lenses
This is so obvious that I´m surprised I haven´t seen it here before. I
probably just missed it, but I only thought of it today, while
shooting with the K24/3.5:
- Set the camera to P
- Dial the aperture I want
- Set the exposure compensation in the camera so it will overexpose by
as many stops as

So I'm curious...
I read the Pentax DSLR manuals regarding use of old
lenses on the *istD/DS/DL, but they seem kinda vague
to me, and not very confidence-inspiring for using old
glass on the new bodies. Exactly how are the old
lenses used on the DSLRs?

Set the mode to manual, (M).
Select the shooting aperture and then either compose and instantly meter
the scene by
pressing the green button, on a D or the exposure lock on the Ds or DL.

This may also work on the Ds and DL but I have no experience trying
this with either of those cameras.
Yes, it works the same
