OK, just couldn't find a better word for it: 'Stop-down "by request" (via

at the second mode -- full manual aperture is not that bad for me.

I know, I've got a few M42 lenses working that way.

Counting cliks is OK for me -- maybe I'm used to the Pen-FT's metering
system ;-)
I don't like lenses with half-stop clicks, though.
