   It’s ok when you consider that even a 4 year old fullframe DSLR costs at least 1000€ .
   I use some old analog lenses too and I love them!.

   Sure. Get a Pentax …
   Sure. Get a Pentax DSLR 2nd hand for about 200$, dust off your old lenses and have fun .
   But remember that a non-pro DSLR without a full-sized sensor acts as a 1.5x Teleconverter on analog lenses so 50 mm apears like 75 mm.

   Yes, every Pentax …
   Yes, every Pentax DSLR can use analog lenses with Pentax mount, no matter how old they are. Pentax-F, Pentax-FA or newer are recommended because they offer autofocus.
   Sigma, Tamron, Tokina etc with Pentax mount are usable as well.

    what is the results …
    what is the results you want to get?normaly sport mode will set to drive mode and faster shutter to stop the movement.

    if you want some movement at sport shoot,set the shutter slower like 1/50, 1/40 try more setting yourself

    good luck

    Yes, this camera is not the best model for sports photography, but:
    * other cameras in this class do not have more buttons either
    * the “10-clicks away” menu item can be reached quicker when accessing it from the bottom
    * the camera has an extra LCD display at the top which many other models are missing
    * the camera does support modern USM lenses, but also has a built-in focus motor to support older/classic lenses.
    * the built-in shake reduction saves a lot of money on non SR/VR lenses

    Don’t use alkaline batteries, use lithium batteries, or better NiMH accumulators. Mine seem to last forever.
