Any Pentax digital SLR will work just about the same with your lenses. The oldest K-mount lenses only work in Manual mode, and you need to press a button to get a meter reading. A lens with an A position on the aperture ring (next to the highest f number) will work in all modes. Manual focus lenses are still manual focus, but the camera's autofocus sensors are still active and give you an indication when they think you're in focus. The camera sensor is also smaller than the film negative, 16mmx24mm vs. 24mmx36mm. So your lenses will act in some ways like they're a bit longer. The effect is like taking a print and cutting out the center two-thirds of it. If you really liked wide angle lenses, you probably need a new one.
