Thanks, John. That sounds a little difficult. On my refconverter there's a metal mount, fitted with small screws. I was imgining I could screw on a wider one - from an eyepiece - using the original screws. Alternativly I'll just cut of a little of the flanges (it's a matter on 1-2mm at eachs side, I believe). I really should do this, since I'll never use the K1000 for macro or repro photography anyway. I want TTL flash option, which to me means using the Super A or the *ist D.

The biggest problem was removing the ring from the eyecup and getting it perfectly level to mate with the converter, took a little of my workshop skills and a fine file. However if you place it correctly it works very well even on the A series bodies allowing full view of the viewfinder/metering. It looks a bit unsightly but I've kept mine as a spare.
