I understand that the most valuable thing that is lost when using older lenses is the sophisticated metering of newer bodies. But this is true for K-series and M-series lenses also.I don't see the problem with the M42 lenses. Since it's fairly sure the new DSLR with take K mount, the adaptor should work, and a good lens is a good lens. Besides, a digi-screwhead is SUCH a Pentax thing . . . ;-) Steven Desjardins
