Old Asahi Pentax
The Spotmatic lenses will be an M42 mounting, that's a 42mm screw thread. All Pentax cameras since the Spotmatic use a bayonet mount, Pentax K or PK mount. You can use the older M42 mount lenses on the PK mount cameras by using a mount adapter like this . (You can sometimes pick them up second ...

Old Asahi Pentax
Would these be compatible with modern cameras (e.g. K5)? It looks like there are some filters in there too. Pentax cameras are particularly good at legacy support (provided the 'use aperture ring' option in the menus has been turned on). All PK(bayonet) lenses can be used without an adapter, older s...

Hello Everyone out there
I joined Pentax user late last year but neglected to introduce myself, so here I am. I bought a K-5 back in November 2011, and I'm finding it to be a fabulous DSLR. It's very versatile.

Just joined and need advice.....loads of it!!!
Well, still no joy in uploading RAW images. I managed to find the pics I uploaded yesterday via Silkypix but couldn't find any way of getting them back on to Utility to do anything with them.

Hi all....
Just thought I'd say 'Hi' to everyone. I've just arranged to buy a K10D with the kit lens plus a Tamron 70-300 from Epithet Man (David), so I'll soon be after some advice on how to use it! Though I've had film SLRS way back in the dim and distant past, I know I'm going to have a lot to learn ;) ...

Hello!
Hi there and welcome. I have a K200D and love it too - great camera bought as a back up but gets a good share of time out with me - especially in the winter!

Just switched to Pentax
Hello all, I am a former A700 owner who after all of the hassle in the DSLR market chose K5 as the next upgrade camera. And yes .. I did consider D7k, 60d and even D300s or 7D, but only K5 delivered to me things I loved with A700 and added the best of new to that. And ergonomics ... ahhhh ... ...

Smear or Blooming
Hi Geoff and welcome. I cannot immediately answer your question as I do not quite understand what you are seeing. But I'll try and help you start to get the bottom of it. What you get with the K-5 shouldn't be that different to what you get with your GX-10 in that respect. Apart from better of c...
