Deni: No prob and thanks,
Alvin: That 70-210 is a great lens (aluminum and glass). You are correct, it is a series 1. I fly airplanes for a living and that's the lens I've been using to take pictures on the road. This wait for developing is killing me. As for the 50, the lense we use on our Canon is a 50mm f/1.8.. the 1.7 could easily take over with how fast one can focus.
Entropy: I had no intention whatsoever of using that speedlight on a digital body. I was amazed that it worked with the 125x setting on the ME Super body! Everything works wonderfly for being 22+ years old.
Thanks again to everyone for the information. I'm thinking that the k100d wouldn't be to bad for now, and I'll look into the k10D a year from now or so.

I'll have to look (currently at work) They are all full manual focus and aperture. (didn't notice an "A" on the ring)
Big thanks again for the info!

Thanks for the responses so quickly. It's actually the "K" bayonet mount all of the gear. I believe this simplifies things (ie. no adapters?)
About how many shots can one get with the rechargeable batteries? I currently get 600-800 with my Canon.. is it comparable?

Greetings everyone,
I'll apologize now.. new to the forums.. new to Pentax (Have been using a Digital Rebel XT).
Last week, my Grandparents moved out of their home after 35 years. While moving out, my grandfather asked me if I would like his SLR gear, so.. I naturally said "Sure!"
He handed me a bag containing:
Pentax ME Body
Pentax ME Super Body (Which is what I've been shooting with since it was given to me)
Pentax 50mm f/1.7
Vivitar 28mm f/2.5
Vivitar 70-210mm f/3.5
Sigma 28-80 f/ 3.5-4.5
Vivitar Auto 252 Speedlight.
It's like striking gold for me! My question is I'm looking for a digital body to utilize these lenses as well as future purchases. (The Canon is what my wife uses to take pictures of our daughter, and the Pentax is mine for traveling which is what I do for a living).
The D100 and the D10 are the two bodies I'm looking into.
How long do the AA's last on the D100?
And lastly, how difficult are the cameras using the older lenses (which I currently have). I've red a bit on the forums on this topic and thank you all for the information.
An excited noobie,
Scott
