Hi , I am a very amateur photographer, with a decent point and shoot which I love playing with. I have inherited my father's Pentax film camera and many excellent accessories, I would like to get a digital body and learn as much as I can. I have a friend who belongs to this sight and suggested I should join.
I am excited about this new adventure

Welcome! Depending upon what you want to spend, there's loads of great digital body options out there. I opted for a K70, good value with modern features. But I still use my old *ist Dl2 (6 mp!) With my old film lenses and it does just fine. You can pick those up for about £40.... enjoy!

Welcome of the Forums (from Downunder). You can use your film era Pentax lenses in manual mode on a Pentax DSLR. Many of them a very good lenses. the lens reviews here will tell you a bit about them.
