My tests showed the K10D has an increasing tendency to overexpose in the 'Manual/green button stop-down metering' mode as the metering operated with the lens opening moving away from wide open. However, the metering error is predictable and can be adjusted for. Furthermore, you can use the Digital Preview with Histogram display to see what the camera has set and perform a correction, no need for a hand held meter.
So while it's inconvenient, I wouldn't say that K/M lenses are unusable. It just takes a bit more time and effort to use them to best effect.
