Yes, i have so much fun to use all my old lenses (K mount) but first you need to get the right adapter for about $30. You better do some research on pentax forum. They have many tests on different lenses.

yes, you will need an adapter, PK to Q, there's a dedicated one from pentax, $209, has a leaf shutter that's why it's so pricey but there are others for about $25/30, you can use the electronic shutter, it's in the camera menu.

Hi Harry I have a Pentax and yes it works with it the lens itself is a manual focus not an auto focus so you will be fine!

I do not know if it will work on your Pentax, I am useing it on a Cannon and it works fine-it is pretty simple-and it may work on almost anything but I do not know for sure.

You may use the old lenses with the digital camera. If the lenses have the A lock on the aperture ring the camera can still be in full auto mode. I have 4 lenses for my old 35mm camera and they all work with my new K20D.

This is a silly thing to worry about. Older Pentax lenses were designed for film, which is an innately higher resolution medium at lower ASA/ISO speeds. A good K or M lens will still be good on this sensor, arguably better in some cases since the softest part of the image circle is cropped away.

If the old lenses as Pentak K-mount lenses; but check with the experts on Pentax Forums (which has FAQs about this).

The good news is, any Pentax lens will mount on a Pentax DSLR (Hats off to Pentax). Even if you have an old screw mount lens, the screw mount to Pentax K adapter will work. Functionality is limited to the type of lens. If it's a manual type, you can use aperture priority mode on the DSLR and the camera will choose the sutter speed, like your ME Super can. I have a collection of Pentax lenses and bought a Pentax DSLR because I can use them on it. I use the standard screw mount 50mm that came with my old Spotmatic because the glass is super on it.

YES - almost all fit ...especially the ones labeled Pentax -DA "interchangeable lens." I have the sames lens I have been using for many years .. even from my old films pentax cameras. This means you can just buy the box

I doubt that this lens would be available in the Pentax K mount. Even if it were, the autofocus functions would not work, and the lens probably wouldn't cover a full 35mm frame. While the 18-200 zoom range is very attractive, you ought to be able to find a more appropriate lens that would not cost as much.

If a lens works on a previous analog or digital Pentax (K-mount), it will also work on the K-3. With adapters, you can use even screw-mount lenses and other formats and manufacturers lenses too. Some restrictions regarding manual apertures apply, but the camera still works with them perfectly. As your lenses are digital ones, you'll have no problem at all.

Pentax Forums.com has a database of every Pentax lens ever made and the interchangeability range. Basically, all Pentax K mount will work on any modern Pentax body. Older Pentax lenses may require an available adapter. I am not familiar with Kx, but I believe any lens that worked on Kx will fit a K-30 without an adaptor. Older lenses were A or M mount. Still useable on a K-30 but perhaps without Auto Focus, so you would have to manually focus.

Yes, Pentax lenses are famous for their interchangeability. I use one of these daily for getting up close with nature, you know bugs and rocks and stuff.

I was in same boat with 4 pentax lenses from my old K1000. I love my new K500, but so far none of my old lenses seem to work. All are full manual lenses, so it may depend on whether you have manual or auto lenses (have an A on aperture ring). Suggest going to Ricoh/Pentax website and download K500 owner manual. To be honest, the standard lens that comes with K500 does everything my old lenses did - and much more. Fantastic photos and gobs of features.

As long as your lens do not protrude beyond the inner lip. This adapter is designed to push the aperture pin on Pentax older lenses. As long as the threads on the lens is flush with the last lens segment there should be no problem I would think. You will have to make that evaluation yourself and for your needs. Good luck.

Yes you can, provided your camera lens is at least 49 mm. It is a great thing to have!
