I'm waiting on delivery of an NX1100 and would like to use a couple of pentax k-mount lenses I have. Any adapter recommendations for this application? I'd prefer an inexpensive one that works perfectly.:-D

Hiya, I had exactly this question myself just over a year ago. After a lot of advice from the good people here, I found one on Amazon. This one that I have linked to is one that allows you to use the aperture ring on your lens, which of course you have to do, as the Pentax lens will be totally manual when attached to an NX camera. If you do not want the one that I've linked, be careful that whichever you choose does give you the ability to use the lens aperture ring.

Allan - I appreciate the info. I've done some searching already and remember that particular adapter. If I don't buy that one I'll certainly be sure to get one that allows use of the aperture ring.

OK, glad to be of use, that adapter really does work. I use it with my Pentax 100mm f2.8 Macro and Pentax 50mm f1.4 lenses.

My white nx-1100 (ebay purchase) arrived today and I'm very pleased so far.....lots of reading and playing with it to do yet to get somewhat familiar.

Thanks again, Allan.

Have fun with your new camera, don't worry about it being white, I remember the discussions on here when the NX 300 came with the option of a brown one, (which is the colour of mine). As I said then, remember, probably the highest priced lenses on the market, (Canon L lenses), are white on colour. What does it matter as to the colour of the camera, as long as it does what you want of it, then it is the one for you.
