Re: Can I adapt a pentax K lens to my samsung NX300?

When Samsung launched the NX series of cameras they also released a (horrendously expensive) PK-NX adaptor, as their previous "GX"-range of DSLR's were effectively re-badged Pentax cameras.

The only "good thing" about Samsung's adaptor is that it has the ability to (manually) control the aperture in PK-fit lenses that don't have an aperture ring.

This is possibly of no concern to you as most PK lenses from the film era had an aperture ring, so you can use one of the readily available after-market adaptors.

However, I have had bad experience with a "Pixco" adaptor not allowing infinity focus (poorly manufactured) so would suggest an "IKecay" adaptor if you can find one ... mine works fine

Good luck
