I haven't done this, as I use Canon DSLR, but yes certainly should work. OTOH, the optics will at least slightly degrade the image quality. The optics on most relatively inexpensive, generic adapters will likely have a large and negative effect on IQ.

Leitax mount kits allow you to use Leica-R, Contax C/Y, and Olympus OM lenses on Nikon DSLR. I use five types of Leitax mounts on my Canon cameras. They're all excellent quality, but they're not cheap.

Don't waste your time and money. Either get a Pentax body, or sell your lenses and get a Nikon body/lens combo.

You will be happier.

Any adapter with a corrective lens will degrade the image - often enough to completely destroy the sharpness/rendering that you love about the lens.

Which two lenses do you have that you want to use on a Nikon body ? The only Pentax lens that I loved enough to keep (for a year or two after I made the switch) was the 77 Ltd., I even sold the 43 Ltd. Wish I had kept the 77 for the Sony 7 range !

I've already given an opinion on adapters with corrective glass - it hasn't changed

Nikon have a wonderful 50/1.8g (ca. €185) that is very good value and highly rated. I'd also suggest the Nikon 70-210 / 4-5.6 D that is very very good for ca. US$80 - 100 in 'As New' condition. It won't cost you much at all to switch to Nikon lenses and I really don't see the point in trying to keep those two PK lenses when you can get equal or better Nikon AF lenses for next to nothing (after selling your PK lenses). Try and return the adapter quick !
