I've got a ~1965 era M42 lens mounted quite nicely on my EOS 3. I can
also put most every F mount lens on it with an adaptor (Which I own),
Contax/Yashica, Olympus OM and Leica R glass (with adaptors that I
don't own), all support Aperture priority and metered manual (without
resorting to pressing a buttion to get a readout or set shutter
speed), and of course I can Cotty-ize K mount lenses. Even more
mounts have been adapted to 4/3rds mount cameras.
But they are all useable only in stop down metering, that's not as
convenient as open aperture metering on Pentax with K-mount lenses. Now
that's only a matter of photographer's habbits. If he used to use open
apertures - that's no problem. If he used to stop down - it becomes
tedious to stop down-open aperture actions to switch between shooting
and focusing.

Exactly the same as any 25 year old lens on a Pentax DSLR, except you
don't have to hit any buttons and Aperture priority works properly. It's
only KA and later lenses that do full aperture metering on Pentax DSLR's.

Who used to use several K/M and M42 lenses on his *istD, and now uses F
and M42 lenses on his EOS.
