Lenses? a odd question

[ukcatfan]

Oh boy I have so much to learn... Im guessing a screw mount is the ones that screw in right?

Yes.

Don't forget that if you buy the old lenses they may not autofocus, even if your camera has it as an option.

I was just at the bookstore tonight, and the latest issue of Shutterbug has a long article specifically on using old/classic film lenses on today's digital cameras. They had a paragraph on Pentax lenses, and it sounded like they had good things to say about Pentax's old lenses on current Pentax cameras.

They did caution, however, about the A-mount, setting apertures manually, and focusing the lens manually.

If you get a chance, check out the article in the magazine. I'll bet it's also online, too.
