See http://www.phred.org/pentax/k/extras/K-mount/crippled.html for a
detailed discussion. Basically, Pentax has built a long-going reputation
for compatibility between bodies and lenses of diferent ages, and we are
all a bit disappointed when two bodies come along (30 and 50) that throw
all that away... just for the sake of saving a few pennies in production
costs.

Like others have already pointed out, this is correct. As long as you know
and respect this limitation, you have a perfectly good camera.
Cheers,
