Ali,
I would expect you will have no trouble mounting this or any other KAF lens
using a K mount to E System adapter. However looking at images of this lens
it doesn't show a manual aperture ring so you will be stuck using it wide
open. This would likely result in less than optimal performance. I suspect
you would get better use out of the money by saving it until you can afford
the 11-22mm (which would give you a corrected 22-44mm equivalent range) or
the 8mm fixed fisheye for the E system. The whole concept of a zoom fisheye
is quite tempting but if you wanted to play with this lens buying a K-1000D
would do you better than cross mounting it.
HTH, Dan S.

Subject: [OM] Pentax KAF to Olympus four-thirds
Talking about the 7-14 ZD lens which is a bit out of reach right now. I
wondered if I could mount a KAF lens to my Olympus E-series body.
Cameraquest has k-mount adapters available, however I am not sure if that
will work with a KAF lens?
I am looking at the DA Fish-Eye 10-17mm lens which can be had for under
$400.00. Yeah I know its not a ZD lens, however it will offer fisheye and
wide angle (20
- 34mm?). I though about getting a Russian OM Mount fisheye, however the
folks that resell Russian lenses I believe are charging quite a bit more for
the OM mount.
Thanks.
- Ali
