Why oh why, desecrate both great brands. The flange depth is different for Nikon vs Pentax cameras. If you really want vintage made like tanks manual lenses, get a few Pentax Takumar M-42 / Screw mount lenses and a Pentax Branded / OEM M-42 to K-mount adapter. No glass just threads to bayonet. Why not get a older used Nikon body cheap and use your lenses as intended?

In addition to all my Pentax K-mount lenses I have many Vintage Takumar lenses as well: 28mm 1:3.5, 35mm 1:3.5, 50mm 1:4 Macro, 55mm 1:1.8, 135mm 1:3.5, older auto-takumar (not what it sounds like) 35mm 1:3.5. These I can use on my Pentax film cameras, Spotmatic, K1000, K2 DMD, and my digital cameras, K-3, K-5, K-20D, K-100D. Someday I also want one of those radioactive Takumar lenses, usually a yellowed 50mm 1:1.4 lens!

MILC are an entire different animal and question.

For those interested Canon FD and EF mounts will use Pentax (Screw and Bayonet), Nikon, Exacta lenses with an adapter and it does NOT need a glass element to focus to infinity.

I have never used a mount/lens adapter,and want to try one.Specifically Nikon lenses to my Pentax-k70.

Do the adapters interfere with the photo quality?

Forgive my ignorance,but I have found some dandy Nikon lenses that are calling to me.

Thank you!

I think you will have to buy an adapter with a corrective lens, probably much easier to get some old Pentax film lenses.

I won't be desecrating anything. 😁I just like to mess around with stuff. I have a couple of Takumar lenses I am interested in.Also a Pentax 500 with the nifty-fifty everyone is in love with. I have been living on eBay for a couple of weeks now!

I always tell people who are thinking about Pentax to go with Nikon and avoid problems like this.
