alan_chan4 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Just contact the sales department of CR Kennedy and ask for the M42-K adaptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braydon_davey Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 so that will work on my camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_chan4 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 It will work on all M42 lenses and Pentax K mount cameras, including P30n. In fact, you can even use these old lenses on the latest Pentax DSLRs with the same adaptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john carter Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I'd get the Pentax adaptor if you could. Some of the off brands are not good. And some won't let you focus to infinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wigwam jones Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I agree with John - the genuine Pentax-made adapter is best. I've had troubles with the cheap clones. I realize that the genuine adapter can be hard to come by, but they do sell on eBay all the time, one just has to be careful to get the 'real' thing. They will have "Pentax" or "Asahi" engraved (not printed) on the adapter, and they typically go for around $30 USD. Not cheap, but they work well and you buy them once. If it says "M42" on it, it is not genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_howlett Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I ordered a Pentax M-42 to K-mount adapter from Pentax in Colorado. It came in a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
