This adapter ring fits very well in my Pentax K10D. It fits too well actually since it iis a bit hard to remove. Too hard to remove to qualify as perfect. But it does the job.

Bought one from Adorama's eBay store front. I initially used a key for a different adapter, and it didn't work very well.Then I used the key supplied and it works. However it took me a few times before I can reliably take it out from my camera. I practiced installing and uninstalling it on my KM and it left a few scratches on the mount and body when I was first trying to uninstall it with the wrong key, no big deal. I am happy that I choose to practice on an old KM rather than my new K-S2.

Fit and finish are good, the screw holding the lock-in spring protrudes into the threads, but I never intended to keep that spring on in the first place. I'll bet this is the source of some complaints from people who might have just scred it on without looking. No complaints and I got an inexpensive f1.4 SMC 50mm for my Pentax P30T. I shoot manual anyway so it rocks.

The adapter came well packaged in a fancy box, but with no instructions. I did not realize you needed a key to remove the adapter from the camera until it was too late and winded up scratching the mount on my camera while trying to take it off.

Nowadays, as the number of people using interchangeable lens digital cameras increases, proprietary combinations of camera lenses and bodies are no longer able to satisfy the increasingly sophisticated demands of the many photography enthusiasts. The use of lens adapters have given users full rein of customizing their equipment to best fulfill their needs through different combinations of lenses and camera bodies.
However, although individual camera manufacturers havecreated their own customized adapters, combining lenses and camera bodies of different manufacture has become an ever expanding challenge. At KIPON, a world-renown camera adapter manufacturer, we have developed over 400 types of adapters. With our various adapters, we offer our users the freedom and compatibility of lenses and camera bodies that transcends different times and manufacturers. We have made possible not only the interchangeable use of products across brands but also the use of traditional film lenses.
KIPON offers a full line of camera lens adapters including macro adapters, electronic adapters, adapters with integrated glass, optical focal reduction adapters, adapters with built in aperture control, tilt/shift adapters, tilt adapters, and shift adapters.
The KIPON M42-PK adapter mounts M42 series screw lenses on Pentax K series camera bodies. Please note that after mounting the adapter only manual focus will be accessible when shooting. There is a inner ring on the adapter which presses against the pin on the lens to allow the lens to control the aperture. Please note that lenses with extra long pins can not be mounted with this adapter.
All KIPON adapters undergo the CNC turning center procedure during manufacturing to provide our customers with only the utmost precision and quality. We guarantee an ideal fitting between cameras and lenses to maintain the ease and accuracy of photography. All adapters are made of brass and/or aluminum alloy.
Please note that not all camera models and lenses are compatible with this adapter. Please take extra care when attempting to use any adapter with wide angle and fisheye lenses. Please contact our lens specialists if you have any questions regarding compatibility.
