Great camera - Be careful with legacy K-mount lenses!
(Michae - 9/14/06)I received this camera a few days ago. I've taken a number of shots with it and find that it has excellent detail and works very well. A number of the revies on this site attest to that so I won't dwell on it.
However, I have a set of older K-mount lenses that I inherited from my father. The press release for this camera announces compatibility with all of the older K-mount lenses. BE CAREFUL... they mean Pentax K-mount lenses. None of the lenses I tried (most were from sears) actually worked on the camera and the last one got stuck and can't be removed from the body turning the new camera into a paperweight. I can't say for sure yet whether this is the fault of the camera or the lens (though I'd lean towards the lens). At first estimate it's going to cost half the cost of the camera to remove the lens.
