When shooting with M42 lens, your Exif will show "no lens" - the camera doesn't actually know there is a lens there. As for shooting... you will find focusing wide open is easiest, then stopping down to desired aperture - shooting in Av Mode works because the camera cannot stop down your M42 lens - it thinks its wide open and is adjusting accordingly - that being said, if you are old school and shoot sunny 16, manual mode works just fine, especially if you chimp a test shot or two. In Av mode, the camera adjust exposure automatically, but you have to give it some leeway, as exposure can vary a little from optimal (if I recall correctly, its using spot metering instead of matrix)
