Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

keneedee · 10-05-2020, 07:01 PM

I have purchased several vintage Pentax lenses based upon the
informative reviews on this site.
I thought I would be able to use one of my Pentax adapters with a recent lens purchase but no luck.
I am having trouble finding an adapter for:
LENS: TAKUMAR-F lens ZOOM 70 - 200, 1:4 - 5.6 (It is not the screw-in model)
CAMERA: Olympus OM-D M10ii

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Hi and welcome. I'd suggest that you post a photo of the front and back of the lens so we can determine what mount it is.

Welcome to the Pentax Forums!

The Takumar-F 70-200/4.0-5.6* has the KAF mount meaning that it should adapt to Olympus using available adapters with the aperture ring off the "A" setting. What problems are you having in particular?

Any standard k mount to m43 will work typically. However as Steve said, are you having a problem it just asking what to use.

A typical example: amazon.com : Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter, Pentax K (PK) to Micro 4/3 Olympus PEN and Panasonic Lumix Cameras : Camera & Photo?tag=pentaxforums-20&

The one above will not work will with lenses that lack a physical aperture ring.

The one below works with lenses with it without aperture rings:

amazon.com : Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter, Pentax K (PK) to Micro 4/3 Olympus PEN and Panasonic Lumix Cameras : Camera & Photo?tag=pentaxforums-20&

None of these provide autofocus or electronic communication or control.
