Stay away from Roxsen! I bought one of those adapters and it was junk. Once it was attached to the camera it was extremely difficult to remove from the body. As noted, it was too thick and did not allow infinity focus except on very long lenses that would focus "past" the infinity mark. I ended up getting a Pentax version from KEH. They usually have them in stock.
