Hi Frank,
This seems to be more or less a pre-requisite for using M42 lenses on other
bodies without aperture control via the pin. I believe only Rollei catered 
for 
this with their M42/QBM adapter.
Most of the M42 stuff and older Tamron adaptall lenses I have have this 
function,thank the deity, otherwise they wouldn't work when adapted to the
Canon DSLR, later Fujinon lenses didn't have this function.
