Is it true that I could use lenses from my Pentax MX on this digital camera?

I have a Pentax IST dl DSLR Camera, and I know that the lenses that will fit are somewhat of a wide variety, but I wanted to know if lenses from a Pentax MX will fit on this, in manual mode of course. Thanks a lot.Is it true that I could use lenses from my Pentax MX on this digital camera?
Yes. The MX uses K and KA lenses, so....





From the Pentax press release for your camera:

Some functions may not be available with certain lenses.Is it true that I could use lenses from my Pentax MX on this digital camera?
They will probably will fit, but the MM will differ they most likely turn out to be wider on the DSLR.
More than likely they will. DSLR cameras are made to use regular SLR lenses.
