Thank for the advice guys, I tried and find out I don't even need to touch the green button to re-meter when stop down in Av mode, I can simply shoot straight that's convenient, but I still over exposed a little when stop down pls see the attached image.
The washout area as seen on the camera screen is much reduced in Av mode, so that I can safety reduce half stop to shoot in RAW to get a usable image, but I still don't know what caused the error, the focussing screen, the focal length of the lens, and the angle the light enter the screen may affect the metering , I will do some test with a wide angle lens to find out.

Right ! those 3D looks and color rendition are hard to find in modern lenses. I happened to own a Contax with 85/1.4 for a short while and the image blown me away, I can't afford the whole line so I dropped and turned to cheaper alternative, since the m42 problem basically fixed I guess I will grab couple 'hot' lenses to try out !
Originally posted by luftfluss Yup, I have a cheap m42 adapter (with the spring removed) on each lens, friction-fit, and that works just fine for me. I've had 2 bad adapters out of a dozen or so. And I know my light and exposure triangle well enough to get workably close exposures.
But, y'know, if you don't shoot fully manual frequently, I can understand why a person just wouldn't want to go through the hassle of m42.
It would be tough to give up my Tak 200/3.5...
