old pentax lenses can be used on digital pentax

I would like to know if I can still use my old Pentax bayonet Mount lenses (35mmm) on Pentax's new digital models. Thanks

I have used them, depends on the lens as to what works, even used an old M42 screw thread with no problems. Just put on manual and enjoy.

All Pentax branded K-mount lenses can be used without worry. With 3rd party lenses you must look out for the "Ricoh pin" (which can lock the lens on the camera), and for interference with the SDM contacts (lens will not mount fully).
