K1000 lenses on the Digital K100D

When I put a lens from my K1000 onto the digital K100D, Jessop's staff could not get it to work. Numerous people say that this is possible without giving details. Is there anybody that can tell me what to set on the K100D body to allow me to take the plunge and buy it?

K1000 lenses fall under the category of " Lenses and accessories that cannot be used with this camera "

If you still wants to use the lens, you will have to go to " Custom Setting " of K100D and select " Use of Aperture Ring ".
Set it to " Permitted " and you will be OK.

However, you will have to set the aperture manually with such lenses. This should not be a problem for people who are used to K1000. So go ahead, take the plunge and buy the camera.
