I bought a friend of mine this lens for christmas, but i still need to pick up the adapter.

I have no idea, what to even search for, so some help would be great.

I know a lot of people use them, so if you could point me to an ebay auction, or a link would be great


Thanks!

Pentax makes two lens mounts, K (newer mount) and M42 (screw, older mount). I'm pretty sure yours is an m42 but you'll have to double check that.

There's really no saying. The M42 was primarily used for praktica camera's, not so much for Pentax camera's. The K-mount was introduced fairly early and lived alongside the M42 for a long time.

OP, compare the mount of your lens to the K-mount and the M42 screw mount, then just buy a corresponding adapter from eBay (buy it now's should run less than 10 bucks)

If it's an m42, I have this one: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190581350712&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNARL:CA:1123

There are cheaper ones out there, but you should make sure whichever one you get has AF confirm. That will let your camera recognize that there is a lens on it. It's not strictly necessary as far as I know, but shouldn't give you warnings.
