A useful reference: http://www.graphics.cornell.edu/~westin/misc/mounts-by-register.html General rule is that a lens designed for a longer register distance can be adapted to a camera with a shorter distance easily, basically you just just a tube with the right mount connectors. To go the other way you need glass in the adapter. There are some interesting adapter options here. http://leitax.com/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
