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 relieves us of the burden of memory. It surveys us like God, and it surveys for us. Yet no other god has been so cynical, for the camera records in order to forget.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
