Will My Old Pentax Lenses Work?

I use a Pentax MZ-M SLR but I am now considering going digital. This camera has a Pentax KA2 mount and I have various lenses for it. Would these lenses be useable on a Pentax K100D Super or K10D body?

Is Nikon My Only Choice?

Today I spent the whole day taking pictures in a studio and I was not allowed to use a flash, as they were recording. I used a Nikon D200 and 18-200mm lens, and so far I have always been happy with this setup. My concern was that today I mostly shot at ISO 800 and sometimes even at ISO 1600. I was further restricted with my aperture as I was shooting at 70mm and over and could only go as low as f/5.6. I will be doing more of these shoots in the future and I’m now going to have to invest in a lens with a constant f/2.8 aperture. I would like to stay with the Nikon lenses, as they are excellent although expensive, but is the 24-70mm f/2.8 the only option or are there other generic brands that I will be able to use with the same f/2.8 aperture? If there are other Nikon lenses to consider, please let me know of those as well.
