Are you planning a series of this subject for all Pentax SLR'S?

[@PentaxTips]

Just the SLRs that I am providing a full overview on (soon to come!). Those overviews are accompanied by a WiFi video and a Manual Lenses video. However, the process is pretty much the same across bodies.

I use another camera system, so I am asking if Pentax modern lens mount is called Pentax K for modern and old lenses ? disregarding about af comptability etc. just in order to mount the lens and recognize the correct adapter for mount modern pentax lens on mirrorless, thanks

[@PentaxTips]

Pentax started off with the M42 screw mount. Then in the 70s switched to the K-Mount and have used that mount ever since. However, there have been many iterations of the K-Mount with different functions (auto aperture/ auto focus/types of auto).

What adapter should I get to use my m42 lenses on my pentax k3? Thanks

[@PentaxTips]

M42 to K-Mount adapter. By the authentic official thing, the cheap knock offs are not worth it

[@kici5777]

Do you know what's the shutter life of the KF ?

[@PentaxTips]

It’s not officially posted, but it’s generally agreed to be around 50,000 actuations
