I Have searched, and I must admit that the workings of this forum are a mystery to me,  but I need advice.  I have a number of lenses that are compatible with the Ricoh xrp, which I liked very much.  My question:  has anyone had experience with using the ricoh lenses on the Pentax K10D.  If so how does it work out.  Focus, to infinity?  exposure,  How does that work.  Please help,  I don't want to abandon my Ricoh K mount lenses if I don't have to.  PS: I am aware that the pin must be removed from the lenses.  Thanks in advance

Maybe try the Pentax Forums.  I think it is www.pentaxforums.com.   Or perhaps the forums at dpreview.com.  I don't think there are a lot of pentax users here.

It's not advisable to use Ricoh lenses on pentax cameras.

Although they share the K mount they are not compatible due to the pin positioning.

A google search for "Ricoh Pentax Stuck Lens" will demonstrate why.
