Actually the proof of the pudding is in the eating, but I'll be damned if I'm going to eat anything digital ... even if they're chicken digits (I'm a vegetarian).

I know the old Pentax lenses are compatible, but I was looking for NEW designs made over the last 5-7 years specifically for digital photography, same like Nikon for ex&le did it with the DX lenses or Contax with the N lenses...

Dirk, a friend of mine who freelance writes for automobile magazines bought a Pentax 6 meg digital camera to illustrate his articles, and uses all of his older lenses from his film days.
He let me shoot some frames with it using these lenses and the pictures were quite impressive. I posted some of these shots on the p.n. Leica forum to rave reviews (the camera was interesting to Leica users due to it's quite small size). From this little demonstration I concluded that some of the Pentax glass is under-rated and overlooked.
I'm not sure what you mean by "NEW designs specifically for digital photography". Do you mean those taking the crop factor into account ? ... which the N lenses did not do because the N digital is a full frame sensor. I could not see any resolution issues from even the most ancient of Pentax glass I experimented with. The lenses are probably better than the sensor can resolve.

Hi boys & girls.. Lots of Pentax lenses are over-looked and have been for years. Just because the pros do not use Pentax and never have much, lots of people ignore Pentax at their loss. History shows that Pentax have been at the forefront of lens making along with Zeiss and that other German lens maker since the 50's and 60's. Some of the first range of K bayonet lenses are particularly good and fully up with the best from Zeiss and Nikkor. Also the later SMC-A range, especially the A* (A star) are fantastic. The recent 'limited' lenses are also top notch. They fully deserve far more attention. cheers Steve.

Of course, John, fish ain't fish unless it's fish & chips, but as a veggie-tarian I don't eat fish either 
. I do occasionally lick my fingers after a particularly tasty veggie treat ...
I used to own a Pentax 645 but it got stolen after a couple of months. I placed the insurance money towards a Bronica GS-1. I think God wanted me to go larger format ...
