I can use Nikon lenses in the Pentax K10D?
I can buy some adapter in ebay?
thanks

the easy answer is no. there are no adapters for use of nikon lenses on K mount bodies, as the difference in register distance is too great. however I have heard of people who say that some nikon lenses will directly mount to a k mount body. you wont have infinity focus, and your lens will be upside down on the body.

I use a Nikkor 24mm on my Pentax-rebadged Samsung : the lens reaches infinity and is not upside-down ...

I can use some Nikon lenses on my K100D, and they aren't upside-down either.

BUT ! They will not lock on the camera. You can't walk around with them, you have to keep your hand on the lens to make sure it doesn't fall off.

I have heard of people who drill a locking hole on the Nikon lens so it will lock on the Pentax.

Re the register distance, a Nikon lens will focus a little beyond infinity, won't it?

Yes, a Nikon lens will focus beyond infinity on a Pentax as it was meant for a slightly deeper mount. This isn't really a big deal, a lot of ordinary Pentax tele lenses also go beyond infinity.
