not really true - "digital" lenses will work just the same, but possibly with somewhat reduced image circle.
also, since DA lenses don't have aperture ring, bodies that can't control aperture in-camera are stuck with fully closed aperture - not really useful.
i've been using DA18-55 kit lens on P5 film body for quite some time, with no problems. only drawback is vignetting below ~24mm.
and yes, take the dive, using film equipment is really fun, it forces you to think a lot more, making you better photographer.
