    Re: Will screwmount lenses work with k20d or k7?

    I have to STRONGLY disagree with this statement.

    Although the Pentax adaptor is very good, other brands of adaptors work just as well. I have been using M42 lenses on my Pentax cameras for years without any problems and I dont use a Pentax brand adaptor. My adaptor has an inner flange to keep the pin pressed in on all lenses without the auto switch. This allows me to use a wide variety of M42 lenses that otherwise would have caused me headaches.



    BRIGHTLIGHT,
    Your Tak will work fine on the K20D and K7. Just get an adaptor.

    Check out this site for all the info you will ever need about manual focus lenses and digital use.
