Essentially true, but with one big caveat.  Some older third-party lenses
may lock onto an MZ/ZX series body.  I'm not sure how to identify these
lenses visually, but I understand it has something to do with a piece on
the lens getting stuck in a slot on the camera's lens mount meant for a
power zoom contact.  Or something like that.  Happened to me once when I
was demo'ing the great compatibility of Pentax's AF bodies with older
K-mount lenses.  Oops.
