If I'm not mistaken I think the rear filter mount resided under this part and that is why it comes off. It's not really designed as an interchangeable mount as Pentax only offered an upgrade to the K-mount for the earlier screwmount lens owners. You couldn't buy the screwmount adapter separately.

I keep telling myself "I don't need it and don't have the money right now." But I've wanted one of these since I was a kid. Joe -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Question for seller -- Item #1316793311 Date: Wed, 2 Jan 2002 18:03:02 -0500 From: Donna McArthur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Joe, I'll see if I can make this a little more clear. If you look at the second picture, which shows the back end of the tube, work your way up from the protective cap until you come to a knurled ring. It has two screws on either side of it. This is where the mounting adapter separates from the tube. The adapter has a four-eared bayonette type mount that fits into the knurled ring. This ring is then turned like a breech mount to secure the adapter tightly to the tube (the adapter mounts very similar to a Canon FD mount lens). Pentax designed this lens in this manner and provided adapters for either screw mount or k mount. Hope this helps.
