It's easy to use K lenses on a PZ-1p. Due to a mechanical linkage, the camera will know where the aperture ring is set, so you don't have to use stop down metering. It will meter wide open and stop the lens down automatically just like the A, F and FA lenses. What you will lose is matrix meter

Hello, I have only KA lenses and I was thinking to buy one K lens but first I would like to know how it works on the PZ-1P. Let me explain better. the KA lenses works wide open because the electronic contacts tell the camera which aperture was set in the lens. I don't need to close the diaphragm
