Nor Tv mode either. Or Sv, or anything "fancy" that the K10D has. Just M mode, (and maybe B?).
Quote: With DA lenses that's another story right?
Well...the lenses will mount just fine. Keep in mind that DA lenses (with the exception of the DFA macros) are APS-C lenses, and were designed for the smaller image circle. I've heard rumors and talk that the DA40 will cover the full-frame of a 35mm image circle. (I don't need to try as I have a M40/2.8 for my MX.) Saw a thread earlier today, but didn't read it fully, that most DA lenses will cover the 35mm image circle. Can't remember where I saw that thread. Didn't really apply to me as the MX is a fully manual camera and I have enough focal range coverage and lenses for that body that I don't need any of my DA lenses.
That said, you can use DA lenses on the MX, but you will have to expose with the lens wide open. Without an aperture ring, there is no way to step down the aperture blades. So, for example, using the aforementioned DA40/2.8...every image you take will be at f/2.8, and you will only be able to adjust the shutter speed to obtain proper exposure. Might be fun to try.
