- Use the $20 Pentax screw-mount-to-K-mount converter, screw lens in.

- I don't think you really want to fumble around putting an adapter on
- and off when switching lenses between new and old bodies. Especially
- a screw-thread adapter.

- The same way you do it with non-AI Nikorr lenses on a modern Nikon body:

- Incorrect, at least if you have gotten the non-AI lenses AI-ified.
- I have a couple of such lenses and they do full-aperture metering

- can't mount them at all on newer non-pro Nikon bodies, something
- I'm pissed at Nikon for...).
