Ah, sorry, a K200. Yeah, I can see that having been a problem when brand new.

I actually had exactly this happen just the other day with an Aunt of mine. Somehow we all got to talking about cameras, and she was talking about her father's 'old Pentax' as an example of a good camera. What she didn't know, until I pulled my K100 out was that I have, and use, several of her father's (so my grandfather's) M42 lenses.
My grandfather was always fascinated with technology, and I think he'd think the fact I still use his old screw mount lenses on a camera which doesn't even take film was pretty cool.
