Welcme. Even if the camera is not digital, your new dSLR can use the lenses. That's probably a 55 mm f 1.8 rather than 1.3. The 135mm f/3.5 lens could be a Pentax lens, and if so is very usable on your new dSLR. If the camera is a screw mount Pentax (pre-1975) then you will need to spend another $40 and buy the genuine Pentax adapter to use it on your dSLR.

Pentax made both 55/1.8 and 135/3.5 lenses for long periods of time bracketing the switch to the new bayonet mount (known here as a K mount).
