But, as those of us who actually own the camera know, you don't have to do this. If you want auto-exposure, just put the camera in Av. With a real K lent this is limiting, because you only get full-aperture operation. But with a screw-mount lens and the K-mount adapter you end up with stop down operation, so the metering (and Av mode) work fine.
