After a bit of advice from the photgraphy experts, many, many years ago (1991-93) I studied fine art, art history and photgraphy at A-level and then degree, due to unforeseen circumstances I was forced to pull out of the degree course. Unfortunately this pretty much spelled the end of my photography career. Anyway, sob sorry aside, when I was at college I saved my pennies and got myself a 2nd hand camera body and and a couple of lens, which I still have. The camera is a Pentax P30T and the lens iirc are a 70-210mm and a 35-70mm. I have now reached a point in my life where I wouldn't mind taking it up again as a hobby. What I'm hoping for is to get a half decent D-SLR, but I'd be interested to know if my old lens will be compatible?

Virtually all Pentax SLR lenses will fit on any  D-Pentax SLR. Straight on if the lens is K mount, with an adaptor otherwise.

Currently Pentax have a great value D-SLR the Pentax K-r Which will probably do all you want and more, as well as dearer ones.

Good luck, an excellent Pentax dealer is SRS Microsystems

Your old camera IS K Mount so no problem.

The K-r is competitive with any Canon or Nikon in the same price range.

Thanks for the info pal, I was actually looking at the K-r yesterday, it looks good.

Here a few pictures of the lens, and camera body -
