Anyone got a K-m?

Starting to fairly seriously think about a K-m as spec-wise it suits me just fine. I'm wondering if anyone has one that regularly uses older manual lenses. 90% of what I do involves old manual PK and M42 and wanted to know of any issues. Probably a bit soon to know the problems though.

I would suspect that non-A 'K' and M42 lenses will have some problems with the exposure metering of the K-m.
The *ist-DS and probably the DL are the last bodies which have correct metering with non-A 'K' and M42 lenses.

my DL2 meters correctly with everything, I expect the K-m will be K10D like in its metering, that is incorrect but consistent with older lenses. It's annoying, but you can get used to it.

The only deal breaker spec I've seen on the K-m which seems to have gone largely unmentioned is it has no DoF preview, other than that it seems to be a fine camera.

Hasn't the metering improved with the K200D. The K200D has the same sensor as the K10D and the K-M but is alot newer then the K10D, it would be better to compare it with that one I believe.

DOF preview can be achieved with old manual k mount lenses by selecting the aperture, pressing the lens release button with a finger of right hand and turn the lens with the left hand towards the release position - this causes the pressure on the 'stop down' lever to be released and the lens will stop down!
Just turn it back untill the lens clicks before taking the picture.

Good luck
