Let's not forget the K2 and K2DMD models. These had AE with the K/M lenses. I recall some of the make-shift methods new owners of the *ist D tried, early on, that would allow full use of the K/M lenses. I believe one method had the potential of having the lens fall off the camera if it was handled in a certain way. Not too good wouldn't you say?
