I am not into photography but I have a question. My wife has a Pentax ZX-60 35 mm camera with a 28-80 lens which she used until 35 mm became obsolete. My question is can this lens be used on a digital camera? I assume that the lens was quite expensive and it seems like a shame that it just sets on the shelf. I am not sure if lens are universal or if they are brand specific.

Leave it setting on the shelf? Look for a digital camera? If so what should I look for?
