Kaf2 Lens on Kaf3 body.

aesdj · 03-06-2019, 03:23 AM

Hi. Got a Samsung GX10 that is a Kaf2 mount and I'm thinking of ungrading to the K3ii as I believe it is better for sport/action shots. My question is will my Kaf2 lens fit this body and will all the features work both on the lenses and body? Thanks Jason.

Yes, all K-mount lenses will work on the K-3ii camera.

Older Pentax lenses will always work on newer bodies. Feel free to use the compatibility checker linked above, but you should be good to go.
