Ahhh.... The K-1000 DOF trick. Just don't drop the lens......

Well, with K- and M-lenses you can have all apertures with the *ist D in manual mode, but you won't be able to have the camera meter in manual mode with these lenses. Taking out the aperture lever would indeed bring metered aperture priority operation.
Another quite awkward possibilty to meter with K-series lenses at all apertures in aperture priority mode would be to unlock the lens as if to take it from the body but turning it only so far that the camera's aperture lever has no more contact with the lens's aperture lever so that the lens stops down.

The meter works in aperture priority mode for all lenses, including K, M and M42, however, in aperture priority mode, K and M lenses will stay wide open during exposure no matter what aperture you choose on the lens. No metering is available in manual mode,
Hopefully you add this "however" in your second message...
however, all aperture values can be selected, and the lens really stops down in manual mode during exposure or when DOF previewing.

...while others talk about taking out the K and M aperture lever... They won't need to do so, then.
