Hi,
having a recent 'sort out" of some of my equipment I came across these lenses
Tokina 19-35mm f1:3.5-4.5 77mm
SigmaAPO DG 70-300 f1:4-5.6 58mm
Sigma UC Zoom 70-210 f1:4-5.6 52mm
All with Pentax K mounts
any chance/possibility/usefullness on my Canon 5DMk111?
open to any suggestions :lol: :lol:

I believe you can get an adaptor that will make them work on your camera...but it looks like a bit of work...

I was given a couple of old Pentax K mount lenses and found an adapter for Nikon by Fotodiox on Amazon. Works great and cost me about $40. I don't know if they make one for Pentax K to Canon though.

So that link I posted and the handful of videos I found when googling pentax k to eos adaptor is false? Dang internet, can't trust a darn thing on it these days anymore.

There are PK to EOS adapters on eBay (two versions). One is manual focus only. :thumbdown: The second, and about the same price has the chip which will activate focus confirmation. :thumbup: Those are the ones to buy.

Look at info@www.leitax.com

I bought adapters to convert my zeiss from contax to cannon. He has many different adapters and they are first class workmanship. He, David, is available to help.
