Hi all,

I haven't read the entire thread but I'm in a similar position to the origonal poster.

I have used digital cameras obviously (who hasn't these days?) but I've stuck with 35mm far too long really. I eventually got the Pentax Spotmatic that I always wanted when the 35mm price dropped right down, but despite the brilliant optics, times had moved on and I realise now that it is a very very dated camera. In the past I have been a keen photographer, having owned several nice cameras and even getting into developing at one time. Now, however, I'm sold on the idea of a nice digital camera in the sub £500 range that will accept my old lenses. I have various, but my favourites are the Super Takumar 50mm and a Vivitar 500mm mirror. These are both 42mm threaded and the others are the same or Pentax K.

So? What would be your choice of camera to utilise these lenses?

Thanks in advance ... SS
