I like my film SLR but I am looking to get a good compatible digital for these lenses because film is not always convenient for me to develop as I travel. I am out in the field in SE Asia and have many good photo ops...

Pentax K100D, K100D Super, K10D
The K100D is 6.1mp with Image Stabilization (IS) in the body
The K100D Super adds "dust removal" for the sensor
The K10D has 10mp and "dust removal" for the sensor
You can use your K-mount lenses in manual focus on all 3 and take advantage of the in-camera IS

The advantage of Pentax is that they have never changed their lens mount since going over to bayonet mounts 30 odd years ago,. You can even buy adapters to use old Pentax screw lens. All that has changed is additions to functionality like auto-focus but this doesn't preclude using manual focus lenses on auto-focus cameras. A little different to certain other marques, which I won't name.

Yes. I have Pentax SLRs dating back to 1975 when they introduced the current K lens mount system and I still use my original Pentax lens on their latest DSLR the K-5. So if it fits a K1000 (the K means it is a K mount camera) then it will on the latest Pentax DSLRs.

Pentax K10D is an excellent choice.
