Will Fuji and Samsung Lens fit K3

Will Fuji and Samsung Lens fit K3 and if so what adapter/adapters do I need.


I have some friends whom use these cameras ( Samsung NX1 and Fuji X-T1 )
and would like to try out some of there lens,
as they keep telling me there lens are superior to Pentax lens
I'm talking about the Fuji 55mm 200, 18mm 135mm.
or the 16mm 50mm Samsung S model that's the expensive one,


I have the Pentax 55mm 300, Tam/17mm 50mm and Tam 70mm 200mm


I would like to no what adapters I would have to purchase so I can give them a try


Thanks in advance of your answers

As far as I know...

The distance between the sensor and lens on Samsung and Fuji is much shorter than the PK mount for Pentax.
Based on that, you can't adapt those lenses to Pentax... however, the other way around should be possible with the right adapter (if they are any).

Actually, you can. It however requires an adapter with glass. A good one that does not affect image quality too much will be expensive. I quick google does not reveal any; only the other way around

I doubt very much that you will have much functionality; AF and aperture control will probably not work.

And how would you focus? Mirrorless systems all use focus by wire.

I'm sure you can... sort of... but only by using extra glass in your adapter that will affect image quality no matter the quality of the glass.
Becomes pointless... You are better off spending all that money on better glass that is native to your mount.

The older Samsung D-Xenon lenses (35/2, 12-24/4, etc.)
are basically badge-engineered Pentax lenses,
and will fit on a K3 without any adapter.

The short-register mirrorless lenses are of course a different story.

That's because it's a DSLR that had the mirror left out.

A DSLR less the mirror makes it a real "mirrorless",
as opposed to all those overgrown P&S types out there.
