I believe that Pentax sometimes use Kaf as a generic term to include Kaf2.

After all what? The message was that pretty much all older Pentax lenses can be used with the DSLRs, but those of the Series or later are more convenient. This does seem very straightforward and you won't find such a degree of compatitbility elsewhere.

What did you choose to do in the end?

What an astonishing decision. There is no other camera system that provides as much backwards compatibility as Pentax.

I can only guess you fell victim to an apparantly knowledgeable sales person, or you are trying to live up to your signature statement.

Ignorance can be overcome . . . with knowledge . . . and you've got plenty of the latter here.

I'm also intrigued by this....

He could have got a D40x, and will get a shock when he tries to buy additional lenses

He might have got a 400D...and get a shock with the standard lens
