Originally posted by ambenn55 From what I've read my understanding is that the new K-1 WILL be compatible with M mount lenses but it will leave the aperture wide open? Or would I be able to adjust the aperture?
Welcome to the Pentax Forums!
By M-mount, are you referring to Leica M bayonet? If so, the answer is no, the K-1 cannot be adapted to that mount. If you are referring to Pentax-M series lenses, you will be able to shoot with fully automatic aperture*, though only in M mode. If you are referring to M42 screw mount and want to shoot other than wide open you must switch the aperture to fully manual operation.

* Lens stops down to to the setting on the aperture ring at time of exposure and reopens when the exposure is finished.
