Lens
« on: February 27, 2012, 09:23:28 pm »
After a bit of advice from the photgraphy experts, many, many years ago (1991-93) I studied fine art, art history and photgraphy at A-level and then degree, due to unforeseen circumstances I was forced to pull out of the degree course.  Unfortunately this pretty much spelled the end of my photography career.  Anyway, sob sorry aside, when I was at college I saved my pennies and got myself a 2nd hand camera body and and a couple of lens, which I still have.  The camera is a Pentax P30T and the lens iirc are a 70-210mm and a 35-70mm.  I have now reached a point in my life where I wouldn't mind taking it up again as a hobby.  What I'm hoping for is to get a half decent D-SLR, but I'd be interested to know if my old lens will be compatible?

Your lenses will be K-mount and fully compatible with the latest Pentax DSLR's.

I have a Z1 fillum SLR that was my Dad's but am normally found with a K-5 or 2.  :wink:

In fairness though I would say that lens technology may have surpassed yours unless they are super fast. large aperture examples.  :chicken:

Thanks for the reply Ian, I will dig the lens out of the loft tomorrow and take a couple of pictures and post them along with the specification.  :happy2:
