Hello all..
I need to draw on your collective wisdom: Are there any Pentax K-mount bodies that will not accept a Vivitar KA/R lens? The specific lens in question is Vivitar's Series 1 19-35/3.5-4.5 zoom.
They will all accept it - after you've modified the back of the lens 8-)
Otherwise, it's not a good idea to try to mount it on _any_ Pentax. If I remember correctly, there are _two_ compatibility problems. One is to do with the tongue of metal that protects a lever and the other is to do with the lens locking tab. Of possible outcomes, the first will cause damage if the camera is operated with the lens mounted, the second will cause the lens to be unremoveable from the body. That's the limit of my knowledge, I'm afraid.
