Any Pentax K100D owners out there yet?
Discussion
Morning all,
I'm currently considering a new DSLR and like the idea of using all my old K-mount lenses. Auto focus is not a priority with me.
Was disappointed to read a review where a new owner mentioned he had trouble physically fitting lenses to his K100D, and had actually ended up with one jammed on the camera body and unable to remove it. His lenses were "generic" K-mount i.e. not actually manufactured by Pentax.
All the other reviews I've seen so far make no mention of this problem and give the impression that the camera is compatible with every K or KA mount lens ever made irrespective of manufacturer. Several of my lenses are Tamron, Tokina and Sigma.
As I'm unable to get along to my local camera shop for a couple of days I wondered if anyone had any knowledge on the matter ?
