Agreed as seen Mike but what about infinity focus?
Need to let this thread get back on topic?
One thought, if people wanted to use Pentax lenses on Nikon or Canon etc. It means no lens coupling and is only any good for Pentax lenses with aperture rings.
Why not just buy the Carl Zeiss manual lenses with the right mount?
Best regards

How would it get past the focus distance issue or does the Canon adapter allow flush fit?Dont think the Canon adapters use glass .. Nikon do I believe.
Just Google imaged it, no glass.
The Nikon version has glass to allow infinity focus.

All the ones I've seen have a lens to refocus the image as the adapters look similar to a TC. I have one for Pentax to Minolta which I bought with the intention of using wide angle glass. Rubbish IQ and resulted in me buying several more Minolta lenses.I suspect he means just a lens mount adapter. No glass.

As good as it gets Andrew.
No. 6 is a class act, a winner and puts you into the hall of fame as far as I'm concerned.

I hate to say this but I think the Nikon images are a tad better, there may be more noise but there is also more detail, especially evident in the very high ISO shots.
But who really cares? god help us if we become a bunch of pixel peepers.
My K5 is fuinctioning quite well enough for my present needs
Finally! Common sense prevails. Well said Alan. I hate to say this but I think the Nikon images are a tad better, there may be more noise but there is also more detail, especially evident in the very high ISO shots.

It's always a good feeling to get a new camera, especially something that has pulled down some Pentax barriers. The K-5 is hopefully the first of a new bread of DSLR from Pentax.
I've never read so many inputs (mine included) where for the first time on this forum I see the start of what may be infighting.
Its a great camera, the previous models are great cameras, if they were not, Pentax would have folded by now.
We don't all agree on some issues, but we all know that we have one thing in common, a quality product at a fair price made by a company that is trying hard to make a come back to the big league (commercially) and up to now, has not disappointed.
Lets get the results of these purchases on the screen. The inspiration of owning and using the K-5 is plentiful. Put it to use!
Best regards

OK, so the Nikon lens range is huge, so is the canon one, here's the but, Pentax lenses can be used on the other mounts( with adaptors).
If the competition have such good glass why would anybody want to use Pentax lenses?
All I can think of is IQ!
Your not thinking about the cheap lens element in the adapter that degrades IQ. Adapters are made by third party wanabees, not the parent company.OK, so the Nikon lens range is huge, so is the canon one, here's the but, Pentax lenses can be used on the other mounts( with adaptors).

Aplogies if this has been linked before.

It's all good stuff. Never saw this amount of activity in a LONG time.
One comment on another thread said that the K5 & D7000 are distant cousins. I say the companies are watching each other with great respect.
My overall impression? The cameras are getting better, now where is my K3?
Best regards

Almost any lens will fit on a Canon because it's registration distance is small at 44mm.... Pentax is 45.46mm so no correction lens needed.
Nikon is 46.5mm so a correction lens is needed for infinity focus with Pentax lenses.
That's sorted then. Only leaving the question of why would anyone want to use Pentax glass on a Nikon, Canon or Sony?
With the exceptions of my 70-200 EX Mk1 and Bigma I don't use third party glass on my DSLR's.
