Camera Compatibility
Pentax claims that all their auto-focus cameras are backward compatible with K-mount lenses dating back as far as 1975 without need for an adapter. However, the camera cannot read the set f-stop of K and M series lenses and must stop-down momentarily to meter. All Pentax and Samsung D-Xenogon lenses are interchangeable since Samsung adopted K-mount on their camera bodies. The Samsung GX-10 and GX-20 are the only two models compatible with SDM lenses. Some Pentax SDM lenses are also not compatible with some early production digital SLR's.

Famous quotes containing the word camera:
“The camera is a killing chamber, which speeds up the time it claims to be conserving. Like coffins exhumed and prised open, the photographs put on show what we were and what we will be again.”
—Peter Conrad (b. 1948)
