Thank you Not A Number and Adam for the explanations. When I tried using the M lenses in Av mode they seemed to work okay but I had them wide open.

So my old ME Super from the 80's has this aperture control lever and as sophisticated as the new K DSLRs are they do not behave as an aperture-priority camera when in Av mode? I figured putting it in Av mode meant it would work like my old ME Super, the way Manual mode works like a manual camera. So I should be looking for A lenses then or M42s. I prefer manual focus so not planning to buy any more DA/FA lenses. Just bought a bunch of M lenses, darn.

I know this is an old thread but am new to the forum. I started with a Pentax ME Super 35 mm film camera and it used M lenses in aperture-priority. I don't understand why the Pentax K DSLRS cannot use M lenses in Av mode (aperture-priority). What is the issue? I have the Pentax D100 and Pentax K-7. I thought I would be able to use my M lenses in Av mode and not have to bother with the extra step of the green button.

Was this really a problem that was repaired? According to page 109 of the K-7 manual what you are described is normal operation. See attached screen shot. Perhaps I misunderstood the problem?
