Thanks all for the "speedy" replies
Nice to see the old lenses can still be utilized, this is a definite
bonus to now being able to set more aside for a "Body Only" Pentax deal.
Just find that my current Olympus C-730 UltraZoom 10x Optical is "slow"
to respond to zoom and focus (by today's standards) and it was purchased
as more of a "crossover" functionality between a P&S snapper to some
fine telephoto capabilities, and has served me well.
Thanks

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.

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superceded?
Thanks PeterD
