(Note: I have just started an intro photography course so this is all new to me – I only learnt last night what an aperture is and what shutter speeds do). So please excuse me if I am asking dumb questions .)
I had a
Pentax Z10 body + a
Tamron AF 90-300mm lens + a
Pentax FA 28-80mm lens. Somehow fireants got into the Z10 body so I’ve had to throw it out, but I still have both lenses. [Unfortunately I don’t have any manuals for the lenses so I don’t know what kind of ‘mount’ they have.]
I just bought a
Pentax K1000 body (I was advised this is one of the best film cameras for photography students). I am looking to purchase a digital soon – I was thinking of the
K10D.
So, I have a couple of questions:
1) Can the lenses I currently have be used on the K1000? Do I need to buy any type of adaptors to use them? [I realise the auto functions definitely won’t work, but can I use them in manual mode? Although, the Tamron doesn’t seem to have a manual mode I don’t think – does it?]
2) If I can’t use the lenses I have on the K1000, what lens do you recommend I buy? 3) Can the lenses I currently have be used on the K10D? 4) If I can’t use the lenses I have on the K10D, what lens do you recommend I buy? 5) Is the K10D a good camera? Or what do you recommend?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me!
