Can't mount old lenses to my K3

Are you sure your mounts are clean?

And my K-3 has tighter mounting than any other camera I've used. So if there is small difference on K-5, it might be bigger on K-3

K5ii's is more worn which my explain no issues on that body. K3 is 2 months old, used it only 5-6 jobs so far and mount doesn't even have a scratch. I am hoping it will get bit loosen up with time as i remember K5 also had small issues with M42 adapter (yet never with old, 3.party brand K mount lenses)

How did it go with the Kiron 28, did you get it to fit on your camera?
Am thinking of buying one but remembered this thread.
