you can use the older pentax lenses and quite often get better resultsthan using cheap lenses on film cameras, When shooting on film you use the entire image circle and can have issues with definition and fringing in the corners, as you use crop sensors with the pentax kit it cuts out the corners and only uses the centre of the lens.
As far as I am aware there is no PK mount lens that cannot be used on the current crop of kit.
As always, with cameras this is always going to come down to personal choice. :-)

Yes I have discovered an awesome amount of brand loyalty in this field!My main advisor is a dyed in the wool Pentax man who has converted to digital relatively recently. My bro is a Canon fan.
It may yet come down to the fact that the Pentax is available with a white body which looks absolutely mint!
