Pentax and an old 50mm Vexus !9JSKc8tzu.
hey /p/

I'm in abit of a situation, I currently have a Pentax K110D with the 17-55 MM kit lense, a while back I had a Kalimar K-90 with a 50mm f/1.7, I later found out Kalimar was a part of Pentax, I thought I'd be able to use the 50mm MF lense with my new d-SLR, But It won't mount. What can I do? Apparently it's a P-k mount lense, and I don't wanna try to buy another 50mm lense for my pentax d-SLR body, So what can I do?

Pic related, it's said lense (50mm, f/1.7)

the kalimar is a K mount lens so it should mount fine on your pentax.

Well, It doesn't. I tried lining up the dots and all that good crap, it just won't go.

(damn, I forgot my tripcode)

Sorry to bump, But any other input? This came off a Kalimar K-90 camera, It's a Kalimar K-90 50mm f/1.7 lense. All manual.

according to googals, there are some models of that with a yashica mount. Don't force it, it might not be K

1. Google for pics of Contax/Yashica mount
2. Compare with your lens
3. ????
4. PROFIT!

Well, if it doesn't fit, and you really want a good fast prime 50mm lens, you could hunt on ebay for the F or FA 50 mm 1.7 or 1.4. I've got the FA 50mm 1.4 and it's pure bliss. Plus, the F and FA series of lenses will autofocus and meter properly on the K110D, no questions asked (as long as the aperature on the lenses are set to A)
