WOW!;
You fellows have given me a lot to think about; a lot to learn. I was hoping/assuming my SMC-M lenses would
be more 'backwards compatible' than they are. No mechanical linkage -> Stopped Down metering would be
a PITA. So would getting comfy with significantly different viewfinder vs image 'crop factor'.
I want to give y'all a special thanks for your input. It qualifies as 'above & beyond'.
Until the initial shock has abated, I'm leaning towards contacting Eric Hendrickson to see if he would be willing to refurbish my MX. If memory serves, there is just a problem with the shutter button ... shutter release cable got pushed too hard.
What's the best way to contact him?

I should have added my "Pentax" lenses all have 'bayonet mount'.

I have a Pentax MX, vintage 1978, that I used for years until it needed fixing. That was a few years before Digital Photography became the norm.
I also have a number of "Pentax" lenses: 28mm, 50mm (standard), 150mm, 300mm, belows unit and a Vivitar 2x adapter.
I'm going to get back into photography again after retiring for good. I have absolutely no idea which DSLR Pentax
would accommodate my lenses. The entire filed of photo equipment has passed me by.
Would some kind soul give this old fart a clue or two as to which model(s) I should be looking at?
