I wish to convert to a decent DSLR and at present own a Pentax SFXn camera with numerous lenses.

My lenses are high quality and I wish to use them on any camera I purchase. (I even have a 1000mm mirror)

Any body with advice please let me know.

If I remember correctly the Pentax SFXN was kaf fitting ie, autofocus. If you have autofocus lenses they will work on any pentax digital slr. You will have to take into account the 1.5 crop factor though. 28mm lens would be about 42mm etc,

If you have pentax A fitting lenses they will also work but you would obviously need to focus manually.

Pentax k fitting ( the original bayonet mount) will work but with limitations. You would have to use them in manual mode and will only have centre weighted metering which isn't a problem I use several myself and find it easy.
