beautiful lens Alvaro....those takumars are top notch when it comes to construction, even bettering my K series lenses...
its filter thread is 58 or 52 mm?

No af, no exif, no infinity.

Personally I would stick them on Ebay and once sold buy the same lenses back in Pentax mount with the proceeds.

you sure about no ∞ ? - The Nikon registration distance is greater. I remember my canon shooting buddy putting a Canon f.1,2 FD ( I think ) on his EOS mount and he couldn'tget infinity because the reg distyance of the lens was shorter.

I concur - tried only one Nikkor AF lens on K20d mounted directly without adapter and infinity was not a problem .....it was MicroNikkor 105/2.8 and photos were amazingly sharp....so it could work, of course AF and compatibility is gone and it has to be used as old manual lens...

K10D is not bad option, bit aged yes, but still perfectly capable camera which can be had for very low price nowadays. But if you are planning to shoot in low light condition I will recommend K-5.
In bright light and at low iso you can flip a coin between those two

still not sold?

on contrary they can be used.....my Micro Nikkor 105/2,8 fitted into K mount nicely (without any adapter) - surely it didnt lock but it was allright. Of course AF was not functional, and perhaps with some lenses there would be problem with infinity....however I didnt have this problem with this Nikkor.

Hi for prime I would suggest FA43/1,9 ....bit more expensive, sure but more universal than any of those you mentioned - in between focal lenght but more speed than DA40....

very nice lens line, there is certainly some joy taking photos with those beautiful manual lenses

I used to have two M lenses: M75-150 was my first Pentax glass ever and M50/1.7 was my second.....I sold both later, but kept couple of 'K' series manual lenses
