You need to set a custom function to use M and earlier lenses on any

lens(was: ist D AE mode for K M lenses)
has anyone looked at the new nickon lenses? they don't have an
aperture ring at all, what about cannon? minolta doesn't.
seams aperture rings
an aperture
simulator.
It's not that Pentax do not support K M lenses. They do in a way.
The problem as I see it, is that Pentax ist-series doesn't support AE when
setting the aperure on the lens.
That actually goes for A, and FA lenses too!

Yep, and the ZX-series
the aperture from the camera body,
only
on the lens.
Pentax ist, *ist D and *ist Ds (the ist series) do not support setting
the
aperture on the lens. Because these bodies do not have an aperture
simulator.

Now I am getting a little confused. So there must be a lever on the ist for
it to set the apeture on the lens, correct?

Regarding the reliablility factor, HAVING a K/M lens cam/postional
sensor is far more reliable than removing it altogether.
Really?

Yes, at least it would work for a long while.
Without it at all, it NEVER works. No open aperture AE with
K/M lenses EVER
