I use Av mode and M42 lenses with manual aperture, so the camera should figure the shutter speed, regardless of aperture. I just did some testing and metered same scenes with my K10D and *ist using same ISO and aperture. The *ist seemed to underexpose persistently by 3 stops.
I'm not actually planning to aquire a screwmount camera. I need something with K-mount and preferably AF that unlike the *ist can meter correctly with M42 lenses. Or I can just use the EV compensation if it proves to be a consistent method.

Most of the time I use FA type lenses with my *ist. Recently, however, I have been trying out some M42 lenses, which obviously lack the aperture pin.That's probably why the camera doesn't meter correctly with manual lenses. I tried compensatig the EV with +1 stop, but the negatives were still underexposed (or maybe underdeveloped).
What I'm wondering is what kind of camera should I get for manual lenses. Can MZ-5n for instance meter correctly or should I be looking for something older like those MF cameras?
