The D100 is incompatible with older lenses, yet I use them all the time. Just focus, shoot, check and in needed adjust exposure, and keep on shooting. No problem-o. As long as Pentax does not do something really stupid like locking out the shutter when a non-A or non-FA lens is mounted, there should be no real problem using K or M lenses (or even screw-mount) on the Pentax DSLR. The type of person who owns and uses these fine old lenses won't mind twitching a dial to set exposure... or, horror of horrors, carry a light meter... right? -- John Mustarde www.photolin.com
