Pentax K-m plastic mount question

The K-m has a metal mount like all the other Pentax DSLRs - it's the "lightweight" kit lenses that go with it that have plastic mounts.
So yes, the Tammy will be no problem for the K-m.

Thanks. That is a relief. I shall treat him to one then with my tax money. Only fair as he bought me my K20D .

"I am thinking of getting a K-m for my husband", sounds like a good swap!

I got mine in Spain for 316 euros a couple of months ago which is about the same, anyway I'm quite happy with it.

More useful than him most of the time certainly

My question is this - we already have a kit lens (from the Ds), which he hardly uses and a Tamron 28-300 which he loves. Will the K-m's plastic mount be able to cope with the weight of the Tammy attached? I really don't want to spend money on any more lenses (for him at any rate :wink at the moment.
Or should I get him the X70, which is a similar price to the body only K-m, instead?
