RMC Tokina Help!

Hi There, I need help!

I have searched and searched for info on this lens I picked up at an op-shop a year ago...then had another baby...now starting to look into it again...

I know it's obviously, an RMC Tokina 20mm f/2.8, but I cant figure out what mount this is, and if I need to buy an adapter ring for my K-30!

I've read the review page on this site, so am pretty sure it's a PK or PKA mount, as the page says...but just need an answer for a baby brained lady!

I'll attach some quick photos, and could somebody PLEASSSSSE tell me a) what mount this is, b) if I'll be able to buy an adapter ring for my K-30, and c) which adapter?

As I've said, I have researched a bit, but for some reason just cant figure out concretely what I need! Any help is greatly appreciated!

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

OM system for olympus film camera. best to just sell it and get a pentax mount lens. I don't think there are any adapters for om to pk
You could use a 52mm reverse adapter for macro use.

Thanks to both! Now you've mentioned the OM mount, yeah! That's what I figured last year when I was knee deep reading up on the different mounts, doh! I know you can get adapters for Canons, so I'll just give it to my Mum as that's what she uses! She'll have fun with it. THANKS so much for the speedy reply!!!!!!!

The om is perfect for reversing because of the built in aperture preview button

Ah of course! Sometimes I think I'm a bit of a twit. So basically I'd screw the thread onto the lens (duh), then could attach the lens via the attached adapter ring. THANKS! I've always needed things like this spelled out to me in HUGE letters, lol! Now you have enlightened me, I'll never forget to think of this again! Cheers!

Not suitable for this problem, but for selected original OM lenses Leitax offers kits to exchange the mount to PK.
