De-clicking old Pentax lenses should be made a criminal offence and offenders banned from using anything Pentax ever again.

I'm not trying to incite a Pentax riot but what is the practical problem of using a de-clicked lens on a Pentax DSLR?
As long as the camera can still control the aperture then isn't it potentially a good thing?

It wouldn't stay on the 'A' setting (no ball bearing)
Why do they use a de-clicked lens anyway? The DOF will change as they stop down plus possibly focus shift. All editors can do fades in and out anyway

The A setting uses a separate locking mechanism (on all the lenses I've seen) so de-clicking doesn't affect operation.
My question is, does a de-clicked lens still measure exposure correctly when using green button metering?
All the gear with no idea

It stops the lens down so it should be OK.
Proper de-clicking requires a mechanical brake inside the lens, otherwise it's too sloppy and loose
