with Pentax you dont get bayonet lenses via adapters, you get a crippled M42 body instead because the adapter locks into the body.

Caps are nice, but in a pinch, the lens goes in the bag with no caps when swapping lenses. I'd rather take the risk than miss the shot. -Adam Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: > It's obvious that this numbskull JCO has never been a working > photographer. > > G > > On Feb 14, 2007, at 3:16 PM, J. C.
