Except, I've been told, that the MZ-50 doesn't accept old lenses...?

Basically, you get the common subset of features. Both body and lens
need to support a given feature for it to work, but you can still use
any combination. Whether you've got an old K lens on a PZ-1P, or a
brand new AF lens on a K-1000, you'll have to focus and set the
aperture manually -- but both combinations will work just fine.
People tend to think N**on is the best brand for compatibility over
generations, but the fact is, Pentax is quite a bit better at it.
