I have some older "Ashahi" now Pentax, lens from my 35mm camera. Can I use this adapter to utilize these lenses on my Nikon d7100??

Yes, you can, BUT 1-) Because this adapter has its own lens, you will loose some corner sharpness, 2-) You will loose one F-stop, i.e. F8 will behave like F11, 3-) Because the adapter has its own additional lens, the focal length of any old Asahi lens you put on it will be increased by 50%, i.e. a 50mm lens will behave like a 75mm lens, 4-) Because your sensor on the 7100 is in a APS-C format, that 75mm lens will give you the field of view that a 105mm lens would have given you on an FX (old negative format) sensor. If you have, say, an old 28mm wide angle lens, it will behave like a 55mm lens.

Not sure, but my son used my old Pentax lenes with this adapter on his new Nikon. So it wouldn't hurt to try.

As long as your Ashahi lenzes have wat is known as the "K" mount it will work. The Nikon is not the issue, I would compare your lenz to that of the Pentax K1000. Hope that helps.

Dear Gentle Giant,Check if your lens can attach to a newer Pentax camera first. You can do that in a local shop. As Pentax uses PKA type mount and this adapter accepts that. I think some old Asahi lenses had screw or different mounts.Keep in mind though, that you will only be able to use the camera in Aperture priority or manual modes. And that focusing and f-stop selection is done manually.

The Nikon compatible version of this lens will work fine on the D7100. Keep in mind however that the D7100 is an excellent camera that will not achieve it's full image potential with this lens as it is a lower end lens and is optically "so-so". The D7100 is a great camera that can produce great photos with the use of great lenses. By the way, I own this lens and it did a good job on my D200, especially the macro function which is hard to beat with any other lens. Otherwise for awesome normal telephoto duty skip this one and go with the Nikon 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6G AF-S VR Telephoto Zoom Nikkor lens. It's great for this camera.

I think that it would work fine with your Nikon D7100, just make sure you get the one made for Nikon, I've used it on my D7000 with no problems. Works just fine for remote flash units in manual mode, I've not tried triggering the shutter just yet, put plan on it soon.

Yes. I use it with my D7100. Just keep in mind that unlike Nikkor lenses, this is not crafted the same and this is metal on metal. So the first couple times you are going to have to almost force it on. I thought I was going to break the camera. Took it to Samy's Camera and thats exactly what they did. After a few times it will wear in. Its an Extermely good lens for the price. Mine was about $280. It doesnt seem to auto focus quite as fast as my Nikor lenses so I have to be just a bit more patient but otherwise a great companion to the D7100. You're going to enjoy it.

Hello. This adapter did not work with my Nikon D3200. I received an error message on my camera that it could not find a lens so would not take any pictures. I could not even focus the lens manually since the camera did not recognize there was a lens at all.

I've used it with my Nikon D600 sporting a battery loaded battery grip attached to a Sigma 24-70mm 2.8 and a Nikon SB-900 Flash with Gary Fong diffuser. So if your Pentax is heavier, maybe not. If it is lighter, definitely.Please note I changed the carabiner that comes with this strap for a stronger screw. I had my D600 with a 70-200mm 2.8 attached and the carabiner broke (I've got cat like reflexes so camera was not damaged).

Probably not as it is an interface/adaptor between Nikon 1 rage of cameras and the standard range of lens used with D7100. As an example it lets me use the lens set for my D70 with my Nikon 1 cameras. It would allow you to use Tamron lens with a Nikon fitting with a Nikon 1.

Yes, i have so much fun to use all my old lenses (K mount) but first you need to get the right adapter for about $30. You better do some research on pentax forum. They have many tests on different lenses.

The SMC (Super Multi Coated) Pentax-M (Manual) will work with this adaptor. The Pentax lens is a K mount and this Fotodiox adaptor adapts K mount lenses to the Nikon Body. You will just need to adjust for the added distance between the camera body and the lens. Hope that helps.

Yes....nikon d700 and d610 are both an f mount just like most nikons are and the d5200 I have that I use the adapter for to use my fathers old Pentax manual lenses which are k mount...u can also find mounts to use canon lense and Sony lenses to ur nikons....just make sure the adapter is a (what len mount ) to and f type mount

No, this is for Samsung DSLR which were re-branded Pentax DSLR. Or from the joint venture that was mostly Pentax design. That being said this would work with an adapter but you would lose autofocus etc and can only use in Aperture or manual mode

Yes, In certain shooting modes. See the link for more information on D7100 lens compatibility http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/dslr/d7100/compatibility02.htm

Yes. The nice thing about Pentax lenses is that even the old screw mount ones will work with any Pentax dslr, and all K-mount lenses will work on any dslr body.

I can't say for sure about your equipment. I can tell you that I have a Nikon D90 and D7000 and older model Tamron 35-135 and 70-210 lenses. The adapter works perfectly for me and allows me to continue using my older lenses that make great shots. I had thought about selling the lenses but at the going rate you can't expect much. Now though, I have two valuable lenses that I am still able to use.

Hello, If the adapter allows you to mount the lens to the camera it will work but, you may have to focus manually. I am not familiar with your camera model so, check the owners manual about whether or not it will be able to use autofocus. Great lens by the way. I really liked it when I had my Pentax.

Yes the lens works with the D7100. Awesome combination as this what camera my wife uses the lens.

I use this very adapter with a manual focus 50mm Pentax K Mount lens. If your Super Tak is K Mount it should work, but be safe and get a second opinion!I remember that lens, which used to be a Pentax mainstay--lovely lens! Good luck!
