Re: Vivitar 28mm f2.8 Macro lens on my K50..need some help

If you are starting to get interested in "older lenses", there are plenty of places to look for information - Pentaxforums has a really good set of reviews. Just put the lens details into Google (other search engines are available..... ), add "review" and the Pentaxforums review (there usually is one) is always near the top, as was the case when I looked for your new old lens.

Also on pentaxforums there is an "Adaptall Mount club" with a lot of info on the technicalities of using manual lenses on Pentax DSLRs.

But be warned - it can all get a bit addictive"

P.S.  I should also give a plug to the DPR "Adapted Lens Talk" forum.
