Adapters allow you to mount a Nikon lens onto a Pentax camera.
Nikon and Pentax are two Japanese manufacturers that have been producing cameras and lenses for many years. And while each company produces proprietary lenses to go with their cameras, you can put Nikon lenses on Pentax camera bodies when you purchase a simple adapter.
Instructions
1. Purchase either online or at a local camera retailer a Nikon-to-Pentax adapter. This adapter looks like a metal ring that you will install on the camera.
2. Remove the lens from your Pentax single lens reflex digital or film camera by pressing the lens release button and carefully rotating the lens until it releases from the camera. Set the lens aside.
3. Connect the Nikon lens adapter to the Pentax camera body by lining up the guide dots on both the adapter and the camera. With the dots lined up, position the adapter on the Pentax mounting ring and rotate the adapter until it clicks into place. Once in place, the front of the adapter will look just like the mounting ring of a Nikon camera.
4. Line up the guide dots located on the mounting ring and on the barrel of the Nikon lens. Position the lens onto the adapter ring and rotate the lens until it clicks into place. If you are attaching a manual lens with manual aperture adjustments, make sure the lens is set at its largest aperture opening. Electronic lenses may not have this adjustment.
