Can a Canon DSLR take a K mount lens?

Canon DSLRs and the mirrorless 4/3 cameras will take K-mount via an adapter, so you can use them but lose most functions (AF and aperture control, typically). Nikon DSLRs won’t focus at infinity even with an adapter, unless you buy a special one with optics in it that then degrade IQ.

Where is the focus index mark on a K mount camera?

Viewing a K-mount lens from the rear (with the focus index mark at 12 o’clock), the aperture stop-down lever is at about 4 o’clock; and between 8 and 10 o’clock is a slider reflecting the current aperture-ring position, to allow for open-aperture light metering. These features are universal to all K-mount lenses.

Can a da lens be used on a Pentax K?

While the lens does fit the body, the lens will always stop down to its smallest aperture during exposure (for example F22), which limits practical shooting. DA lenses will furthermore produce vignetting as explained above. Not Recommended. Aperture will remain wide-open and cannot be controlled.
