Irix 15mm on film bodies?

Not sure if this has been asked/answered yet, but I noticed that the information for the Irix 15mm here on the forums says it can be used on certain film slr's. Anyone know which ones? Would it work on a K2 or only on later cameras (like the MZ series)?

Any camera that doesn't require an aperture ring, i.e. the A series or newer. AFAIK the only camera which will let you use Av mode would be the PZ family, since those have e-dials similar to DSLRs.

P3/30, P5/50 series, but only at a pinch - these cameras have a program mode which will drive the aperture of DA and ringless D-FA lenses, so they will work but you are at the mercy of their program line.

AFAIK the response of these lenses on earlier bodies is to close down to the smallest aperture and stay there, which makes composition and precise focusing next to impossible.
