Pentax K mount
Encyclopedia
The Pentax K mount, sometimes referred to as the "PK mount", is a lens mount
standard for mounting interchangeable photographic lens
es to 35 mm
single-lens reflex (SLR) camera
s. It was created by Pentax
in 1975, and has been used by all Pentax 35 mm and digital SLRs since. A number of other manufacturers have also produced many K-mount lenses and K-mount cameras.
Originally designed by Zeiss for an alliance with Pentax , it was intended to be a common lens mount for a proposed series of cameras and lenses. However, the plan failed to work out and the two firms parted company amicably, but Pentax retained the lens mount and at least one Zeiss lens design for its own use.
The only linkage with the camera is mechanical and involves the aperture
. A slot between two of the bayonet tabs on the lens allows the stop-down coupler from the camera to sense the aperture setting on the lens and adjust the light meter display accordingly. Opposite this is the diaphragm
release from the lens which extends into the camera body and holds open the spring-loaded diaphragm of the lens. When setting up a shot this keeps the diaphragm fully open. When the shutter is released, so is this lever. It allows the diaphragm to close to the desired setting while the film is being exposed, and opens it again after the shutter closes.
Both of these linkages are arranged so that they are aligned and spring-loaded by the act of inserting the lens and turning it until it locks.
Bodies equipped with the original K mount include the K series, the M series except the ME F, and the LX
. Lenses that support it include those labelled 'SMC Pentax', 'SMC Pentax-M' and 'SMC Pentax-A'. These K mount bodies cannot use lenses that lack an aperture ring, such as FAJ or DA.
K-mount lenses can be used on all Pentax bodies, but are restricted to stopped down mode when used with "crippled" KAF mount bodies (see below).
system. This autofocus system used sensors in the camera body and a motor in the lens. The two were connected via five new electrical contacts on the bayonet mount itself. One permitted the lens to turn on the camera's metering and focus sensors, two focused the lens (towards and away from infinity) and two appear to have been unused and may have been reserved for future functionality.
The KF mount was largely a failure. Only one camera and one lens ever used this mount, the Pentax ME F
and SMC Pentax-AF 35-70/2.8. The lens was somewhat large and cumbersome http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/bodies/photos/ME_F_AF35-70f2.8.jpg since it had to enclose both the focusing motor (with gears) and batteries to power it. KF and the ME-F are similar in many ways to the system used by Canon in the ill fated Canon T80
, introduced several years later.
The ME F can use all Pentax K-mount lenses except for FAJ lenses, which lack an aperture ring. The 35–70 mm lens can be used on all other Pentax K-mount bodies in manual focus mode, but it must be used stopped down on "crippled" KAF bodies.
to be set by the body, and thus permits shutter priority
and program auto exposure
modes. It was introduced in 1983, and is supported by A-series and P-series bodies; Pentax lenses that support it are marked 'SMC Pentax-A'. It is completely backward-compatible with the original K mount.
The aperture on the lens is set from the body by the same stop-down lever found on the original K mount, but on KA lenses this lever is proportional to the area of the aperture opening, rather than the diameter as on previous lenses. This allows the body to easily set a specific aperture, since the relationship to F stops is linear. The lenses add an 'A' setting on the aperture dial, which gives the body control of the aperture. Other, numeric settings are used for manual aperture modes—aperture priority
and full manual mode.
Six electrical contacts are added to the bayonet ring. One is slightly recessed and allows the lens to indicate whether the aperture ring is set at 'A' or not. If it is, a pin on the lens extends slightly and makes contact, while if the lens is at any other setting the pin is retracted and does not make contact. The other five contacts are used to encode the lens's aperture range. Each contact on the lens is either conducting or non-conducting, providing a binary 1 or 0, respectively. Two contacts encode the lens's minimum aperture—, , or ; although no Pentax K-mount lens has ever had an minimum aperture, OEM lenses often have. The other three contacts encode the lens's maximum aperture; their meaning is dependent on the minimum aperture indicated by the lens.
It also adds a seventh electrical contact, this one carrying digital information from the lens to the camera. It carries the following information: focal length, distance to the subject, exact absolute f-stop value, and lens size. This information is used to make better exposure decisions, along with the multi-segmented metering that was introduced in cameras using the KAF mount.

The KAF2 mount is the same as the KAF mount except that it adds two extra contacts to the inside of the mounting ring for power zooming, and transmits modulation transfer function
(MTF) data through the digital seventh contact. On the K10D digital SLR model (and later models like K100D Super, K20D
, Pentax K-7, Pentax K-5 and K200D
) the two power contacts can also power Silent Drive Motor
lenses.
The R-K mount is used on Rikenon P lenses, Ricoh bodies that include the letter 'P' in their model number, and some non-Ricoh lenses. It is compatible with all other K-mount cameras and lenses when in manual or aperture-priority exposure modes, however the extra pin needs to be removed for safe use on autofocus Pentax cameras. If this is not done, the lens may lock on the camera body and will need dismantling before it can be removed from the body of Pentax autofocus cameras. The 'P' setting is not compatible with the 'A' setting as the 'P' pin is in a different location than the 'A' contact on Pentax 'A' lenses and the flange on Pentax bodies.
screw-mount lenses, as do several third-party manufacturers. The M42 screw-mount system was used by Pentax prior to the introduction of the K mount. Pentax designed the K-mount wide enough to allow an adapter to fit between the M42 thread and the K bayonet. They also kept the same flange focal distance
(also called registration distance or register) as the M42 screw mount, so that M42 lenses focus correctly using the correct adapter (such as Pentax original or Bower). There are however other third-party adapters that add to the flange focal distance
so that one loses the ability to focus to infinity. The loss of infinity-focus may not be significant in macro or close-up photography.
There is great debate in the Pentax community over the applicability and safety of adapters other than those supplied by Pentax. Many users of third-party infinity-focus adapters, such as Bowers, report difficulty in removing the adapters from camera bodies. Such adapters may require modification before they may be safely used. Official Pentax adapters, and flanged non-infinity-focus adapters, do not provoke such problems.
Many old M42 lenses have a modern-day cult reputation, including the (Pentax) Asahi Takumar
range. Some manufacturers, including Carl Zeiss AG, still make lenses in the M42 mount. Only K-mount cameras have the right flange focal distance
(45.46mm) to accept old M42 lenses without any optical correction or loss of infinity focus/changed close focus distance. Other SLRs with smaller flange focal distance
can also accept M42 lenses with dedicated adapters: Canon EOS (44mm), Olympus 4/3rd (38.67mm), Sony (same mount as Konica-Minolta/Minolta, 44.5mm), Sigma (44mm), and other companies, but significantly not Nikon (46.5mm).
adapter to K mount but those do not allow to focus to infinity due to the different flange-to-film-plane distance.
was initially developed by Tamron
(1957) to allow the easy adaption of generic 35mm SLR optics into multiple mounts. The T-mount is a 42mm diameter 0.75mm pitch screw mount with a 55mm flange focal distance
. Later versions (T2, T4, TX) were more advanced and complex. Several other manufacturers besides Tamron have used these mounts. Because the T-mount is still used for many telescopes and microscopes, they are still available new. Note: do not confuse the T-mount (M42x0.74) and the M42 mount (M42x1.0) lenses or adapters. They are both screw mounts of the same diameter, and will mount if they are forced, but the difference in pitch can cause damage to the lens, adapter or camera mount if they are confused!

Mounts
The Pentax K mount has undergone a number of evolutions over the years as new functionality has been added. In general, the term K mount may refer to the original K mount, or to all its variations.Originally designed by Zeiss for an alliance with Pentax , it was intended to be a common lens mount for a proposed series of cameras and lenses. However, the plan failed to work out and the two firms parted company amicably, but Pentax retained the lens mount and at least one Zeiss lens design for its own use.
K mount
The original K mount is a simple bayonet connection with three tabs. It was introduced with the K series of cameras.

The KAF mount was Pentax's second and much improved attempt at adding auto-focus to lenses. It adds a small drive shaft to the KA mount, allowing the body to adjust the focus of the lens. This makes the lenses less bulky than the earlier KF mount, which had both a motor and batteries inside the lens.It also adds a seventh electrical contact, this one carrying digital information from the lens to the camera.

KA2 mount
The KA2 is identical to KAF, but lacks the autofocus drive shaft. Another way of looking at it is that it adds the seventh contact for digital information to the KA mount.R-K mount
The R-K mount is a variation on the original K mount by Ricoh. It supports Ricoh's own implementation of shutter priority and auto exposure modes, similar to the KA mount but much simpler. The only addition to the original K mount is a small pin at the bottom which tells the body when the aperture ring has been set to the "P" setting (similar to the "A" setting on Pentax KA lenses).The R-K mount is used on Rikenon P lenses, Ricoh bodies that include the letter 'P' in their model number, and some non-Ricoh lenses. It is compatible with all other K-mount cameras and lenses when in manual or aperture-priority exposure modes, however the extra pin needs to be removed for safe use on autofocus Pentax cameras. If this is not done, the lens may lock on the camera body and will need dismantling before it can be removed from the body of Pentax autofocus cameras. The 'P' setting is not compatible with the 'A' setting as the 'P' pin is in a different location than the 'A' contact on Pentax 'A' lenses and the flange on Pentax bodies.
L39 / LTM
Adaptors can be found to allow use of lenses with Leica M39 thread (screw) mount. If a lens originally intended for Leica Rangefinder cameras is used, focusing is limited to about 10cms. However, some SLR lenses were made in LTM 39 mount, mostly by KMZ for use in the early Zenit SLRs which had LT 39 mounts. These "Zenit" TM 39 lenses will focus properly. Or these lenses can be used in conjunction with the M42 to LTM 39 adapter.M39
