Nikon is worse still. No metering is offered with manual focus, non-CPU lenses except with the most expensive bodies and the FM3A. Even within the AF system, not every lens is compatible with every body (and vice versa). The F mount unchanged for 50 years? My ass!
Glad you gave Pentax a pat on the back which they deserve for backwards compatibility. With Nikon it is also, My ass.
