I've been using Digital for so long that I've even stopped thinking
about AOV issues. However just multiply the FL by 1.5 and that's the
AOV equivalent on 35mm film. So a 20mm ~30mm, 24mm - 35mm, etc. Super
wide is now simply wide, Wide is Normal, Normal is portrait, Portrait is
medium telephoto and telephoto become extreme telephoto. The 40mm and
43mm lenses are interesting cases, they go from being shortish,
(actually true normal) to longish normal. Like an old 58mm normal lens.

If the manual focus lenses are A series, you'll have all the autoexposure
options that the K10 offers. With M and K series lenses, you'll have to use
a workaround for exposure. Basically, you set a stop on the aperture ring,
and press the green button. That causes the camera to set an exposure. Other
than that, manual lenses work fine.

I need to buy another digital for snapshots. If I pickup a used body, like
a
K10, what kind of limitations am I facing using my manual focus lenses?
