In green mode yes, sort of. Outside of green mode, my K-3 operates pretty much the same as any multi-mode program exposure film SLR from the 1980s. When I made the switch to dSLR with the K10D, there was essentially no learning curve. Almost all of my film experience was directly transferable to that camera.

That is why we shoot in RAW and process in Lightroom (or similar) in a fashion that is directly analogous to the traditional wet darkroom. The combination allows for creative options similar to, but often much more powerful than what was possible with film technique. There is nothing "lazy" about it, though the process is often faster. Any image worth working with will require some PP and that generally will require at least 20 minutes time and sometimes much more. If a print is involved, multiply that time by 10.

So why did you stop? I replaced my K10D with a K-3 just this last Spring and with the exception of a few focus screen hiccups, the new camera works quite nicely with non-AF glass. Missed focus is more of a tragedy due to the higher resolution, but that comes with the territory.
