Tamron for Pentax and Nikon the same?

[Z-man]

I seem to remember that the Pentax and Nikon mounts were the same, so the lens could be swapped. Is this true. I am looking at a Tamron AF 28-300 f3.5 XR LD lens for my Nikon D70.

Don’t quote me on this mate.

But from what I can remember from my old Pentax days the mounts are different.
The Nikon mount rotates clockwise to remove “looking at the cam front on” & the Pentax rotates anti clockwise.

Some one correct me if I’m wrong please

Cheers
Ray

Never, to my knowledge.

Negative, don't dare to put any Pentax mount on Nikon Mount! especially the DSLR, you'll ruin all the contact and go out buy a new D70
