I added an Adaptist PK+MM lens mount a few weeks ago. Here's the camera with a super-sharp Olympus OM Zuiko Auto-S 50mm f/1.8 Made in Japan on it, with a Pentax-M 50 f/1.7 alongside.

Another addition, a K85 f1.8

Yellow K-01 with Zeiss Flektogon 35mm f2.4 and Pentax M 28mm f2.8 (first version). That Flektogon really fits it well, even though it is a heavy lens - much heavier than DA 35mm f2.4! And the M 28mm is a joy to use.
Photos taken with K-r and 40mm XS.

Heck, I'll also post one with the Samyang 14mm and a slightly beaten up Helios 44-2

Great thread! I wanted to contribute some images of my lens collection on my K-01, which is currently my only Pentax body. Photos taken with my trusty Sony NEX-5N and Sigma 30mm.

Lenses, in order, are FA50, FA35, DA15 LTD, DA55-300, DFA100 Macro, Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 HSM without and with hood. The Sigma is positively beastly on the K-01; extremely heavy.

Gosh...those sigma lenses are big. Count me out on those fellas.

Here's the Nikkor-P 105mm f/2.5--an amazingly sharp lens. I'm using the Adaptist PK+MM mount, and I shimmed the lens mount by 0.8mm, so that's a good, firm lens attachment.

Picked up a Pentax SMC 'A' 135mm f1:2.8 recently,... can heartily recommend that lens in front of a K-01.
But,... when you miss focus on it, it's really obvious, when you get it spot on, it's Amazing.

The classic SMC lenses hung on the front of a BMD camera also match footage done with an F5 in HD mode with Zeiss glass and 'film look' filters.

Here are two weird looking combinations !

I just got this thing today, liking it so far with the 50mm f1.7 A lens.

Macropolo,..... I'd be very careful where you use that gun-sight rig these days.
Seeing plenty of stories on the PINAC website about people being shot (the other kind) and arrested for using a camera.

Thanks for the advice (you're right, it's not a good idea with all the recent events...). I only use it for wild life photography now but used to do concert with it. It was a fun way to get noticed by the band ;-) .
