Pentax Film Era Lenses

dsingley · Apr 1, 2017

I have four film era Pentax K mount lenses. They were my dad's, who shot a K-1000
All of the lenses look bright. Some dust, but no fungus, mold, etc. The focus and aperture rings (and zoom on the Tamaron) work smoothly. I could not tell the type of mount on the MC Casimar – but I’m pretty sure it would fit a Pentax K mount – otherwise I don’t think my dad would have had it in his bag.

All of the lenses have both caps.

Tamron 90mm 2.5 PKA $40.00

Super Albinar 135mm 2.8 PK 45.00

MC Casimar 28mm 2.8 ? 40.00

Tamaron 70-210 mm 4-5.6 P-K $60.00

The Tamron 90mm macro lens is in their Adaptal-2 mount, which is an interchangeable mount that bayonets and twists and locks onto the lens barrel body, so that lens could EASILY be fitted with a new Adaptall-2 mount, and used on say, a modern Nikon d-slr. Perhaps the 70-210mm Tamron zoom is also in Adaptall-2 mount?

Well... Short answer is, "I don't know - but I'll find out." Did not notice until you pointed out that there was an adapter on the base of the 90mm Tamron.

You are correct. Both of the Tamrons are with the Adaptal 2 Mounts. As it turns out, I have the original literature for both. Thank you for point out. I just assumed that what I was looking at was the base of the lens proper, and not an adapter.

The 90mm macro is a fantastic lens. Mine is in rather tatty condition so if it wasn't for postage from the USA (& possibly Custom's charges) I'd jump at this one!
