Re: 67 - K Adapter and long lenses?
I've been experimenting with the 67 to K-mount adapter lately; haven't taken any pictures, but I was wondering if anyone else is successfully using this adapter? In particular, the view through the viewfinder is great on the 200/4 and the 90/2.8, but a Tak 400/4 and 55-100mm look like the top 10% of the view is blacked out.Are there some lenses that the adapter doesn't work with? It appears as if the top of the image on these lenses is vignetted; almost as if the 35mm camera isn't in the center of the image circle. Mechanically, the adapter is fine. The 6x7 to k-mount adaptor allows for shifting the lens. That allows you to have PC (perspective correction) when using 67 lenses on a 35mm body. Is the shift adjustment set to zero? Bolo -- Josef T.

Mine never did, they rotated but that's it, the PC control adaptors are the Zörk Film Phototechnic ones which you can see at http://www.zoerk.com/ Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications.html - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: 67 - K Adapter and long lenses?
I see this with my A* 200mm F4 Macro and my MZ-S. No vignetting in the image recorded on film, but the top of the viewfinder fades to black well before the edge It's more of a camera thing than a lens thing, I guess. --Mark -William Robb wrote- This is common with any telephoto lens. It's not that the image is being vignetted, per se, you will still get full coverage on the film, but the mirror isn't large enough to project the full image onto the screen.
