Can anyone tell me if the current Pentax digital cameras use the same lens mount as my trusty LX & ME cameras. I would like to update but the cost of buying all new lenses is a non starter . I have a point & shoot digital camera but would like something more versatile

Thanks guys

I upgraded from a Pentax SF7. If that is the same type of lense, (K or KAF) ie bayonet type rather than scew type, they work fine on the digital SLR. The chip on the digital is smaller than the 35mm film format however so all your non digital lenses have to be multiplied by 1.5. ie 50mm becomes effectively 75mm. results are good.

I've just bought myself an Olympus DSLR, it will work with other lenses from the earlier range like my old OM10/20 but an adaptor is needed. Ebay! £2.00 from china, £99.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! here. They also do them so I can fit from other makes, Nikon, Canon etc. Obviously manual f stop and focus.
