I mistakenly bought a Vivitar 75-260 Automatic T-4Tele-Zoomlens with a PP mount adaptor ring on eBay. Is there a way to mount that lens on my K3, maybe buying a different adaptor?

Thanks

The best you will do is a T4 to M42 adapter. Good luck finding one. You can put a TX adapter on a T4 lens as well. There are TX to K mount adapters.

Ok thanks a lot. So what is this T4? Is it a camera mount?

Will the image quality suffer from it? I mean...I really don't need this lens. I may put it back on eBay.

I think it's like tamron adaptall system - lets you use a lens on different cameras, but I could be wrong.

Soligor T4 to k-mount?

It appears you can use a TX adapter on a T4 lens but it may require modification to either the lens or the adapter.

Yeah there are ways but I don't think it worth the efforts. It's a 15 dollars lens. T4 didn't have a long life back in the days.

Alright thank you all!
