Number of contact pins on lens mount

I have a Pentax SuperProgram and it has six contact pins on the body, my lens, an SMC Pentax-A 1:4 28-135mm has similar but possibly only four contact points on it. The K10D appears to have seven pins on the body. What functionality may I loose using this lens?

Keith,

Using an older lens that still mounts (with or without an adapter) will often time reduce the auto-focus functions between the two. You might also see some changes in the TTL exposure capabilities. You may have to use an external light meter to set your white balance correctly. Good luck.

Andrew
