That's pretty much it. I even shoot with the A/M switch set to M on the
Spotty. And since it's sorta-AE with auto aperture vs. continuous AE
with no auto aperture, I'm happy to chose the latter.

So in essence your saying you value AE more that Auto aperture

rather have stop-down AE or GB hypermanual but retaining auto aperture
which the GB function and K/M lenses give you. I honesty think
GB with auto aperture would be my preference. I hate using
M42 lenses on K bodies, I always prefer M42 bodies for M42 lenses just to
get
the auto aperture feature which dates back to about 1960.

I do actually focus often with the lens stopped down. As I tend to shoot
at f5.6 and wider, this isn't a huge deal. If I need to stop down more,
I usually discover that after focusing.

I tend to leave the adaptor on the camera much of the time, although
it does stay on the 50/1.4 Super-Tak when I want to pull it off the
camera. And I shoot in Av with the M42 lenses. Which severely cuts
down on the annoyance factor, dropping it much below K/M lenses.
