Hi, Tom No, the old is not going to work. The lens must be kept with the diafragm "closed and locked" (a position Nikon's lenses have that is a rough equivalent to Pentax's A position), since aperture is controlled from body in that very basic model. The 50mm 1.8 is very good optically, bokeh a bit harsh a la Nikon, construction is a POS, but it's a bargain for the money. Regards
