The Spotmatic F is an M42 screwmount lens camera so you can't use K-mount lenses on it, although you can do the other way around. It also has aperture coupling with Pentax SMC screwmount lenses. I have a collection of those camera bodies and lenses. While its a very basic and capable system its not for beginners. You would be better off with a K-mount, and especially a K-mount AF camera so you existing Pentax lenses would be compatible. Problem is that those early Pentax AF cameras are likely to need work after so much time. If you just want to drop some film in a camera and see what develops (:-D) then the Spotmatic F would be fine. If that one lens is a Super Multi Coated Takumar 150mm F4 it is a very good lens, one of the best in that era according to many.
