Can you use older Nikon 35mm lenses on the current dSLRs (D50, D70s) ?

Thanks - my sister has a bunch of Olympus, Pentax and Nikon lenses and wants a dSLR but doesn't want to buy all new lenses.

You can use most of the Nikon mount lenses with a DSLR (like D50). AF lenses works without any problem. With other lenses you have to do settings manually.

I know this is the Nikon forum, but what about Pentax and Olympus lenses?
