Yes, they will accept the "SMC-FA" KAF2 lenses. I can even mount these
newest lenses on my 25 year old manual-focus KX body. And yes, the AF
bodies (with one or two exceptions) will also accept manual-focus K and KA
lenses. This is the beauty of Pentax.

I have no direct experience with the SF series but that was the 1st-gen
Pentax AF line (not counting the oddball ME-F), so it is 2 generations
behind the latest and hence the lower prices. You may have found yourself
a bargain here.
