OPEN-APERTURE AND STOP-DOWN METERING LENSES Open-aperture SMC Pentax lenses have a diaphragm coupling lever on the back of the lens which couples with the camera body to permit open-aperture metering. The ultra telephotos do not have a diaphragm coupler, so they must be used with the stop-down metering system. Use of the Auto-Extension Tube Set K permits open-aperture metering. Use of other K Series accessories - standard Extension Tube Set K, Helicoid Extension Tube K, Auto-Bellows M and Bellows Unit III - requires stop-down metering. Whenever any one of these is used between the camera body and an SMC Pentax lens, the stop-down metering system must be used. :ow • 61•
