Secondly, isnt the whole point of buying a PENTAX DSLR the ability to use a large quantity of PENTAX lenses one already owns? If not, why buy pentax DSLR???
I would rather go with Canon which is cheaper and has a much better selection of AF lenses on both the new and used market to select from.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- J.C.

No K mount lens is more than 28 years old and the last M series are only 21 years "old". The istD's lack of full support of the K and M lenses is deplorable considering the cost of the camera and ANY "K" or "M" lens is not "OLD" IMHO. They were well made SMC optics and should last many decades. I have lenses from the 1940's that are still in beautiful shape and even one from 1931 that is entirely usable even though it isnt even coated..... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- J.C.
