Question: Does this work on the d3200 because i heard that the camera doesn't recognise that there is a lens on it
Document: Didn't work for me. I put this on my Nikon D3200 and the camera did not even recognize that there was a lens attached. This is NOT the quick fix you are looking for. Other reviews complained about fit but it actually fit the camera very well.This may work for you f you are a professional/expert and know all about manually working your camera.
The only lens setting available of course is done manually by you setting the aperture on the Pentax lens itself. If you have any Pentax digital lenses that do not have a manual aperture ring on them, this adapter will not work, because you will not be able to adjust the amount of light (ISO) coming through your lens into the camera.All my Pentax lenses worked with this adapter. Now I can use all that older prime Pentax glass with my new Nikon D7000.Whatever you do, do NOT try and connect this Fotodix K-adapter to any of their other Nikon adapters.
The camera won't function in any other mode as it doesn't sense a lens and therefore won't work. I expected this, so it wasn't a problem. The product works as advertised, that is, it adapts a Pentax K mount lens to the Nikon F mount. If you are able to work the Manual mode (adjusting aperture, shutter speed and focus) on the D5100 yourself, then I recommend this product highly.As a side note, I picked up another Pentax / Sears Branded f2.0 50mm lens at a different second-hand store.
I managed to get a Pentax 50mm f/1.2 lens and was really wanting to use it on my Nikon D7000. I read on forums that you have to get this one , with the infinity glass correction due to the difference in flange distance. The other reviews mention problems with a locking mechanism and over turn issues. maybe they were older models, but mine has proper spring loaded locks that work perfectly and i have no issues getting it on or off my lens and camera.The results were really good till about f/2.8 but once i open up anywhere after that it becomes super soft an looses sharpness.
I must say this lens mount adapter worked better than expected.It fits all my old Pentax (K) SLR lenses and my Nikon D3100 DSLR perfectly.It looks and feels like part of the lens.High quality build and materials.Nice clean pictures.It was easy to install.Much cheaper than those found on the Nikon website.Definitely a good buy.Some Tips:*Attach lens onto lens mount before attaching to camera. *Be sure that camera is turned off before installing lens. *You need to set the DSLR Camera to (M) Manual mode for it to work (adjust your lens settings manually as the lens mount does not have electronic contacts to allow for auto focus and image stabilization features on motorized lens.
This was a great find I was so happy when I put this on my camera and it work so well I could just kick myself for not thinking of this before. now all my cameras can use all my lenses. Happy ! and I LOVE ! LOVE! this product
i had read reviews that it doesn't mount right, doesn't work well etc. but i found no problems or issues. it's not a perfect solution to use old lenses from the 70's on a newer digital camera but at least i can play around and use them.shipped on time. quality and price are great
It does not work with the auto focus, so you will have to manually focus, but it works. The Pentax lens I had was not auto focus. I would recommend it to be able to use lenses from a different time & place.
I would recommend selling the manual lenses and saving up to get an actual lens that was made to work on the D5100. Again, not dissing the fotodiox adapter, as it does adapt and function properly. Please let me know if u find some way of getting an absolute crystal clear image with this adapter.
I have a ton of Pentax glass and wanted to use it with my Nikon D7000.It does work, and I am very happy with the K-Adapter itself.I would recommend this to anyone wanting to use Pentax-K mount glass on a Nikon digital frame. The adapter comes with a glass mounted that enables infinity focus. This can be removed. You will lose infinity focus, but it will magnify the lens, making it a quasi macro lens. I have not tried that yet. Photos taken are nice and sharp, using manual focus.
Answer: Yes it most certainly works. I use it on my D3100. Attach the lens mount adapter to your lens and attach it to the camera. You have to switch the camera to M or manual mode from the dial on the top right hand side of the camera else it won't recognize there is a lens attached. Now switch on the camera. You should get familiar with using manual mode to get best results.
