You could also try using Av mode...

Seems to be a much more accurate method for getting the correct exposure than using the green button in M mode. Also, can make shooting off several frames a lot quicker.

Exactly. I use Av option all the time. Never had a wrong exposure. Pressing the green button after every composition is so tedious.

My only complain with using manual lenses on Pentax is that the flash output is not in accordance with TTL. So if you use flash, everything will be over-exposed. On the other hand, when I use manual lenses on my NX500 with flash, everything is perfectly exposed. In other words, the flash output is in accordance with the exposure measured by camera.
