Hello!
I'm new on here and need help with a lens being the Sirius 28-200mm Macro Lens for my new Pentax KS2. I would like to know if the M42 mount is what I need to be looking for or if I'm completely lost here!
Thank you!

we would need to see the lens mount to determine what's needed to adapt that lens...

some of them were equiped with Pentax PK or PKA mounts - so adapter not needed,
some had M42 - so M42 to PK adapter required,
some were made with other mounts not adaptable / compatible with Pentax.

it is definitely not Pentax mount , we will need to get clear image of the other side of the mount.

That's a mount for a different brand (Minolta? Konica? Not sure.) Anyway, not adaptable to Pentax.

With the two buttons like that it might be Olympus … either way, not suitable or adaptable for a Pentax.
