I personally don't think limiting compatibility of K and M lenses are particularly 
smart for their first DSLR. On the other hand, K and M lenses were being made for only 
6-7 years over 20 years ago. Hardly anyone who still use them have bought a new Pentax 
product in 20 years or ever. And very few of them will buy a DSLR. I believe such 
compatibility, and mind you I speak as someone who actually use K lenses, are only for 
psychological reasons as the real market for DSLR for K and M lens owners is 
microscopic.
