PENTAX K MOUNT TO CANON MOUNT ADAPTORS?

[steve_mepsted]

<p><strong>Hi there -</strong> I have a range of Pentax lenses that I wish to use with my Canon 5D MK 11 particularly my 10-20mm super wide. Before I invest in a number I wonder if there are any brands of lens adaptors that people have tried and liked? I am not necessarily too fussy about shooting with all modes available but it would be a bonus if possible. Also any general advice on adaptors and their use would be appreciated as I have never tried them. I am based in the UK.<br>

<strong>Many thanks Steve </strong></p>

<p>Though it looks like Pentax K-mount lenses should be adaptable to an EOS body if you just consider the flange to focal plane distance of PK lenses, it turns out that the diaphragm coupling lever which sticks out from the back of the lens causes problems.</p>

<p>I shoot with a Fotodiox PK to EOS adapter and haven't had any issues. I use old Sears Auto lenses I picked up at a thrift store. They work great. </p><div></div>
