Can I use adapted lenses on the pentax k r?

Yes. The K-r uses the Pentax K mount, and old manual K lenses fit directly, so you don't need an adapter.

If you want a starting point from the catalogue, the Pentax smc DA 50mm f/1.8 frames like 75mm on this body, which suits portraits. For wide scenes, try the [Pentax smc DA 14mm f/2.8 ED [IF]](/gear/lenses/pentax-smc-da-14mm-f-2-8-ed-if/), which frames like 21mm. The K-r also has stabilisation in the body, which helps whichever lens you use. For the crop factor on any other focal length, use the focal length converter.
