Originally posted by RobA_Oz An early adopter of the K2, I see. I didn't get my K2DMD until 1981. They were (and still are – mine hasn't missed a beat in the last 33 years) great cameras. Do you still use yours, and have you moved to digital, as well?
Welcome to Pentax Forums. Enjoy your time here, and post some photos when you have time.
Hi Folks,
Thank you for your replies. I haven't used my k2 camera for almost three decades. I want to go for a digital one but I want use my vintage SMC lenses 1.4/50, 3.5/24 and 3,5/135. I don't bother AF. Recently I noticed that my old lenses can be used on a K5IIs or K3 camera without a adapter mount. So I want to buy a K3 here in Holland for Euro 926 because Pentax/Ricoh gives a cash back after sale of 80 Euros.
Question:
Can I use my vintage lenses without problems on the K3 or is it not advisable.
I checked this weekend the K2 camera without film and it worked fine all functions ok, the battery still measures a amazing 2,7V after three decades.
