Interchangeable Lenses ?

I've got a Pentax MZ6 body, with Sigma 055 Zoom 28-80 Lens, plus another Sigma 70-300 DL Macro Super lens.

If I buy a Pentaz K-M or KD20 body, can I use the lenses I've got?

I'm miles away from anyone that can help me, so any help I can get would be appreciated

Cheers

Yes you can.

Welcome Roger, one of the glories of the Pentax system they do not change the lens for the sake of it, they started with excellent lens and lens system so have had no need to change the connective system although the glass has stayed ahead of field ever since.

As John has said, yes, certainly. All Pentax K mount (bayonet) lenses will fit all Pentax K mount cameras, film & digital.

Pentax have only ever used two lens fittings on their 35mm SLR and DSLR lenses, M42 screw and their K bayonet mount. Even the older M42 lenses can be used with an adapter. That's what makes Pentax so appealing, every lens they've ever made can be used with their modern cameras.

Enjoy the K-M.

Do keep in mind that the digital sensor is smaller so the angle of view changes. the 28-80mm would feel like a 42-120mm and the 70-300 a 105-450mm, the factor is 1.5x. The lenses stay the same though but they would "feel" longer because of the sensor, that's all.

The only thing is that the *ist-DS was the last body which featured correct metering with 'M' lenses.

Was it?

I didn't get correct metering with mine.
