This would be specifically interesting for a fast lens, perhaps an F1.4 50mm and an F2.8 zoom, as well as the relitively slow kit lenses.

I know the issues with metering on teh K10D very well, and have tracked this down to the focusing screen, combined with a software fix for A lenses, that actually makes manual apature lens metering an interesting experience, and am really intertested in how the screen performance with K10D metering really plays out.
