Pentax Film Era Lenses

[dsingley]

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.

 

[dsingley]

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!

 

[dsingley]

Well.... Your instincts are correct. Sold the 90mm today.

Damn. I was thinking about that 90mm and I thought too long

 

[dsingley]

Thinking is usually what gets me in trouble.
