	There are various adapters to adapt Pentax screw mount lenses to  
various modern mounts. Example:

	http://www.rugift.com/photocameras/canon_eos_lens_adapter.htm

	I've read about varying success with them, but apparently some of  
those adapters work well enough.

	If any of your stuff is Pentax K-mount bayonet, that will work  
directly on a Pentax digital body.
