Peter, those lenses should work well, as others have already said. I have a Tokina 400/5.6 MF lens which is very good on digital. The K7 has a built-in focus assist light, and some of the Pentax flashes, such as the AF-330FTZ, will throw a low-intensity red beam to ensure accurate focus.
HTH John in Brisbane -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Peter Sent: Monday, 25 May 2009 2:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Pentax AF Lens + SF7 = DSLR Have a Pentax SF7 (film) camera with a SMC Pentax-F Zoom 35-70 f3.5 AF) (Also have a Tokina 70-210 f4.5 AF) Are these lenses usable on any Pentax Digital SLR's? I am currently investigating at upgrading to Digital SLR. Am particularly interested in the new K-7 (still waiting for pricing in Australia) or the K-m. The feature I liked most about my old SF7 was the "AF spotbeam" which assisted with auto-focus using the flash in dark environments. Is this feature currently available on any of Pentax's DSLR's or is this now superceded?
