Default New body work with old lenses?

Does anyone know if there are any Digital SLR's that will work with Ricoh lenses with a bayonet mount? I accumulated a few of these in the 80's when I got my first film SLR and if I could use these with a DSLR it would save me a small fortune. Thanks in advance ...

Make sure you follow the advice of the linked article — they will get stuck on the camera body otherwise.
