Can I use a Pentax lens on a nikon F75

<b> :confused: :confused: :confused: Right i just got a Nikon F75 and my mum who has 4 very nice Pentax lenses (which i want get my hands on) does no longer have an SLR camera as it broke a few years ago. All of the lenses are from diferent makes : Yashica ,Soligor and Makinon but all work with a pentax camera. Now down to businss as said in the title I want to use them with my nikon. Is this possible? Im guessing theres something like a converter that changes the connection from Pentax to Nikon or at least this is what i am hoping.
Thanks in advance

The short answer is "not really". :(

The long answer: There's two things you'd have to adapt - the mechanical mount and the electronic contacts (if there are some). I've seen mechanical adapters but I don't think you'll have any metering unless you have an AF Nikon lens (or one made by Tokina, Tamron, Sigma). I know this is true for the N80 (no metering even with Nikon manual focus lenses) and probably true of the N75 as well.

then there might just be som loght at the end of the tunnel.You see they are both manual focus lenses wich doesnt realy matter as i like tha more anyway so there shouldnt realy be problem with the electric onncetions. Ps what do you mean by meatering?
and would you know where i could get such a mount
thanks

I'm not sure where you could get a mount, but Google it and something should pop up. Since it's not made by either Pentax or Nikon, they will recommend against using something like it and can't guarantee how it will work. I have seen some on ebay from time to time though.

I was talking about the in-camera metering, which determines exposure. The other option is to use a separate hand-held meter.
