And if you get a Pentax 1.7X AF teleconverter, you can even do AF with your old MF lenses! I love my 1.7X AF t/c ... it works great on my SMC-A 50/1.4 and Tamron 90/2.5. It also works very well on my SMC-A 200/4, though it does get a little "fiddly" due to the effective f/6.8 of the combination. In bright light, though, it's just fine.
