Kent, This would be a K-mount, I think (95% sure). It's definitly a Pentax with a Pentax mount . . . .
Is it worth it in optical quality? I was thinking that I MIGHT be able to even mount this puppy on a gunstock for handholdable shots. Better yet, maybe I would have an excuse to get a gimbal mount for a tripod . . . ooooooooh, new tripod!! Has anyone on the list used/owned/seen one of these? Let me know what you think?
