Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum - in fact I'm turning to you because my mz7 went wrong and I decided to go digital instead of having the old one prepared. Now my question: can anyone confirm, whether my SMC Pentax-FA 28-200mm F3.8-5.6 AL [IF] lense will work fine with K5 family (K5, K5II, K5IIs - not sure yet which one to choose). I know there are compatibility charts out there, but I got confused as I took a look at it. Thanks for your help in advance!

Bye, Joe

It'll work fine with AF and all. You may want to get a different lens for digital, though, for better image quality.
