My take:
J.C. is right when he says that K/M lenses are not "fully supported" by
Pentax DSLRs. This is because "green-button metering" takes the meter
reading when the lens is stopped down. Open aperture metering takes the
meter reading with the lens wide open. "Green-button metering" takes in
Actually, Asahi Optical provided limited (not full) compatibility when they
switched from their screw mount to the K mount (they abandoned diaphragm
coupling and thus lost open aperture metering capability for screw mount
lenses on K mount bodies).
