DA lenses can be used with any Pentax body with Program mode in a limited manner, and any body which can set aperture from the body fully. Frame coverage is problematic. The DA 40 Limited covers full frame (being in reality an update of the older M 40/2.8 pancake and thus a 35mm design rather than digital-specific), the 70 apparently can as well. The 18-55, 16-45 and 12-24 all cover full frame at the longer end of their ranges. The DA 14 and 21 Limited do not cover 35mm. I don't know about the 50-200. The 10-17 becomes a normal to circular fisheye on 35mm.
