Easy to answer for you aficionados...
Are there any other DSLRs (besides Pentax) that can easily use lenses from
earlier film cameras?
Canon and Minolta via adaptors (full metering), Olympus, Nikon low-end
(no metering, but otherwise functional), Nikon mid-high-end (Full
function including matrix metering with AI-modified and later). Right
now the D2xxx Nikons are the most functional with old lenses, Olys
support the most lenses via adaptors and Canons are the most usable
with the most systems (the 2x crop factor on Olys makes even a 20mm wide
a normal equivalent).
Are the Pentax DSLRs unusually lightweight?
Equivalent to Canon Digital Rebel and Rebel XT
Are there any other DSLRs with mirror lockup?
Canons all have it, accessed via annoying menu. Higher-end Nikons. Not
sure about minolta.
