One lens, that I don't have the K equivalent, is my 85 f1.8 SMCT. I have use it on my LX (in the past, the SMCT 28 f3.5 and 105 f2.8 screws lived there too) with great success. The advantage of the later TTL meters is that they are centre weighted and compensate for light fall off at wide aperatures. Since you need to stop the Takumars down on the K1000 and the fact that it is a full frame adveraging meter like the Spotmatics, care needs to be given as to what you are metering.
