Everyone seems to think that would be difficult. Hows this for an
action. It's easy enough to sense a K lens the body. So have a function
button, (such as the AF button on the *ist D), that's useless using K/M
lenses change function. Press that button and use one of the wheel
controls to dial in the focal length. Fairly straight forward. It
probably doesn't have to be more accurate than within 10% of the actual
focal length. With practice it could be become an automatic thing to do
every time you mount a K/M lens. Sure you'd have more problems with
zooms but you don't have to use IS, and <ironic voice=on>as someone
pointed out there weren't that many Zooms in that range...<ironic voice-off>

I suppose, if there were some means of manually entering the lens' focal
length into the camera. Sounds even more cumbersome than pushing a green
button so I doubt it'd go over well...
