Hello,

best thing is it works with K lenses and spot metering.

DN> Well turns out it was all in the .pdf accompanying the 1.10 upgrade

DN> Below is the relevant section from the notes at the end. The method that 
DN> they mention of holding DOF switch, fiddling aperture ring and pressing 
DN> green button for correct shutter speed is also quite handy. Now I really 
DN> feel I could use a K lens! (-:

DN> "·When you activate depth-of-field preview (p.138 in the operating 
DN> manual), the
DN> metering switch will also activate.
DN> · If you press the green button when depth-of-field preview is 
DN> activated, the camera
DN> will still select the appropriate shutter speed to obtain the correct 
DN> exposure.
DN> · With depth-of-field preview activated, you can change the shutter 
DN> speed using the
DN> Tv or Av dials.
DN> · If you are using an SMC Pentax or SMC Pentax-M lens, the camera will use
DN> center-weighted metering, even if multi-segment metering mode is selected."
