The time has come to enter the Digital SLR world.
I have a competent selection of K mount 35mm lenses and I want to know if I can reuse them on a suitable Digital slr body? All the ad's / info sheets / ebay data lacks any relevant info, than again I may be missing something in my newbie status.
Regards Doxy.

PS I've just joined and signed the 'public spaces' petition. That sort of Nanny state...............arrrrrrrgh.

Hi Doxy, welcome to the site.

Which specific DSLR are you considering?

Mark. I don't know. I have the lenses (all manual focus) and it seems a shame to ignore / retire them. Doxy

Hi Doxy. I believe that you can use manual focus K-mount lenses on a Pentax DSLR.

If you post which lenses you actually have, I'll be happy to find out some more specific info for you.
