Pentax K-x
As an owner of a Pentax film SLR (Super-A) and a few nice Pentax 35mm lenses I've been following the evolution of Pentax DSLRs closely. This one seems quite nice. Can someone explain what using a manual focus lens on one of these cameras actually entails? I gather you first focus manually and the camera turns on some indicator in the viewfinder when the center is in focus?
With older A-lenses the camera should be able to control the lens aperture automatically but I have a few Pentax-M-lenses, a nice 85mm f/2 and a 40mm 'pancake' and with these one has to resort to 'stop down metering'. Is this just a matter of focusing with the full aperture and then setting the aperture from the lense or do I need to press a separate button to stop down the lens?
