Product Information

Full details

This Urth manual lens mount adapter is designed for photographers looking to combine Pentax K-mount lenses with Nikon F-mount cameras, enabling new creative possibilities. Its primary benefit is extending the usability of existing lens collections by facilitating cross-brand compatibility. The main caveat is that it's a manual adapter, requiring users to adjust focus and exposure settings by hand. Key features include precise machining for a secure fit, durable construction, and an anti-reflective coating.

FAQs

Will this adapter allow autofocus?

No, this is a manual adapter and does not support autofocus. You will need to focus manually using your lens and camera.

Can I control the aperture with this adapter?

Yes, if your Pentax K-mount lens has an aperture ring, you can control the aperture directly on the lens. This adapter does not electronically control the lens aperture.

Will my camera's light meter work with this adapter?

The adapter does not transmit electronic information, so your camera's automatic exposure metering may not function correctly. You will likely need to use manual exposure settings or stop-down metering.

Is the adapter compatible with all Nikon F-mount cameras?

This adapter is designed for Nikon F-mount cameras. However, due to the manual nature, certain camera models might have limitations with stop-down metering. Always check compatibility for your specific camera model if unsure.

How do I clean the adapter?

Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the surfaces. Avoid using any liquids or harsh chemicals, as this could damage the finish or internal components.

What is the lifetime quality guarantee?

The lifetime quality guarantee covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. Please refer to Urth's official warranty information for specific details and procedures.

Does the adapter have glass elements?

This specific adapter model (Pentax K to Nikon F with Optical Glass) does not contain optical glass. It is a purely mechanical adapter designed to maintain flange focal distance.

Troubleshooting

Adapter does not mount securely

Ensure there are no obstructions or debris on the mounting surfaces of the camera, lens, or adapter. Realign the mounting dots carefully and try again.

Image appears blurry or out of focus

Ensure the lens is correctly seated on the adapter and the adapter is securely mounted on the camera. Use manual focus carefully, possibly utilizing live view or focus peaking on your camera for precision.

Light leaks are visible in images

Check that the adapter is fully locked into place on both the camera and the lens. Ensure the mounting dots are aligned correctly during attachment.

Camera does not meter correctly

This adapter does not support electronic metering. You will need to use manual exposure settings or your camera's stop-down metering capabilities. Experiment with different exposure combinations.
