Question Pentax lenses on Samsung body?

I was scoping out Pentax lenses on Amazon this morning and saw some that were listed as compatible with Samsung cameras. I've never seen this before. Has anyone in this forum actually tried it?
Thanks,
Ian

Hello Ian, i havn't used a Samsung camera, but i do know that Pentax and Samsung worked together to engineer the sensor in the K20D cameras and then moved on to create their own DSLR camera with a Kmount mimicking the Pentax K20. So my quess is that the Samsung lenses will work on Pentax and vice versa.

Thanks. Good to know. I've been eyeballing the new Samsung NX10, not so that I can use my Pentax lenses on it but so that I can use all my old Minolta glass with the help of an adaptor from Novoflex. So using my Pentax lenses as well would be a bonus.

cheers!
