The third sentence here should read "I would assume that the same would hold true for a K lens.

I can verify with certainty that M lenses will work fine in manual mode using a hand held meter. The diaphragm definitely stopped down when the shutter release was pressed with the lens set at f8. I would assume that the same would hold true for an A lens. I also was able to examine the FAJ 18-35. Seems to be basically an entry level zoom without an aperture ring. I also inserted a 256 Mb CF card to check capacity. The camera LCD showed 14 exposures available in RAW mode, 16 available in TIFF and 51 available in low compression JPG. Also, this weekend, Pentax USA is moving from Englewood, CO to Golden, CO, home of Coors beer. Hopefully this move won't affect delivery of *ist D's Bill
