michellemandat Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I found a cheap 200mm "F" Nikkor the bayonet of which is broken. Optic is in good condition. I plan to adapt this lens for Pentax manual bodies by mooving the bayonet and adapting a pentax one may be dismantling aperture mechanism. Is't an heresy? Thanks.

chris_eve Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Heresy ... no. Mounting lenses of different manufacture on an slr camera has always been one of the attractions of the interchangeable-lens slr. Optimistic ... yes. Finding enough "meat" on the body of the Nikkor to securely mount a Pentax bayonet is likely to be difficult, even with the aperture locked open. Good luck.

jorge_oliveira2 Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 From a strict heresy viewpoint, I have a relative that used to make a living taking photos all over Latin America (nowadays he's on video). His main camera was a Spotmatic with Leica lens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_holsinger Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 The film plane to lens flange distance on a Nikon is different (longer I think) than Pentax ,or anything else I know of for that matter. This means that the lens will not focus properly on a pentax body even if you could mount it easily. Used to be a guy in NYC named Forscher who did this kind of thing. Very expensive. More than the cost of 200mm Pentax lens. As I remember, you can adapt Pentax lenses to many bodies. Most lenses cannot be adapted to Pentax bodies.

ron c sunshine coast,qld,a Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 The register distance is indeed longer for nikon so at least it IS POSSIBLE-infinity focus will acheivable which is the nain thing.I found i could use a nikkor 105/2.5 on various Kmount cameras as it was!It would only just catch on the mount flanges and had to be used stopped down but it took excellent pics.The main reason i did that is because i had one allready and kmount 100mm lenses are rare and expensive.FYI i have modified a nice f3.5 telezoom konica lens to accept an eos mount.

manuel_portillo Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 "The film plane to lens flange distance on a Nikon is different (longer I think) than Pentax ." It is shorter, I use a Micro Nikkor on my Pentax bodies and it works great! I don't know if it is a heresy, but the old Nikkor are cheap and works on my Pentax istDS and K10D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
