I was under the impression that Pentax "K" and newer
bodies worked with "Stepless" metering? That is, the
camera body closes down the aperture to the setting
you input. If you set f/8 on the lens, the camera body
sets that

Ken,
Please don't. We're mature enough as to already have an educated opinion

It's amusing. Sort of like watching life aboard the USS Caine.

You hardly know how the Pentax mount works, what makes you think you
know anything about the Nikon one? The N80 may not meter ambient light
with MF lenses, but does with TTL flash and can perfectly control (stop
down the aperture) a MF lens in manual mode.

H... does the *istD have a DOF preview button?
Wouldn't be too hard to change the firmware to meter when it's pressed, and
indicate that exposure. Or even to do stop-down metering in aperture
priority mode.
I remember

Which might mean a 50 year old manual M42 lens will work just fine.

Are you absolutely sure about this? From what Boz wrote, I concluded that

If the lens stops down, this would be correct but the lens does not stops
down on the *ist. Nothing happens when you set aperture on it, it's wide
opened at all aperture settings.

There is nothing special with the *ist. It's like this on any camera.
If you REALLY want to know look at the KMP --> Techn
without the little lever, it won't stop down untill
the shot is taken, IE won't know it's stopped down to
know what to meter.

Stupid question. I've read that an M lens on the *ist will only meter
wide open. If the camera can't talk to the lens, how does it know what
wide open is? and if its reading the light coming through the lens, why
won't stopping down affect metering? Probably an obvious answer, but I
can't see it
