Understanding Lenses

Good day,

I have recently acquired a Pentax Spotmatic and an assortment of lenses. I am currently considering upgrading to a DSLR and the possibility of using these lenses on a K200D would save me purchasing all new lenses for the new camera.

The lenses included with the kit are:
Soligor Wide Auto 1:28 f = 28mm
Bushnell Automatic Zoom 1:4.5 f=90~230mm
Hanimex Tele-Auto 1:2.8 f=135mm
SMC Takumar 1:1.8/55

I've tried Google, to no avail. While I make myself acquainted with the search button, has anybody any experience with any of these lenses?

I tend to shoot wildlife, macro and occasional landscapes. I've no interest in portraits.

With an adapter, would these screw mount lenses work effectively, if only in manual focus? I've a basic grasp of how to read the lens information, but not what they mean.

Thanks!
