Re: Pentax Big Glass on eBay
You don't need a hammer to use a Pentax K-mount lens on a 4/3 System camera. A $24 mount adapter will do nicely...

Re: Pentax Big Glass on eBay
Now Cotty, if you were to take a hammer to the lens mount so that it could be used on a 4/3rds mount Olympus, it would be a 4000mm lens equivalent. Then there is the cost of the concrete required as a solid block to mount it instead of a tripod to cut down the vibrations. Then there is the truck required to cart it all around. But the greatest cost would be the fuel required for the endles journeys looking for something to actually photograph!!

Re: Pentax Big Glass on eBay
If they were A-series the digital bodies would be able to record the aperture in EXIF. You could also use Sv and TAv exposure modes on the K10D.

All I can say is that things like that are what earn folks their die-hard status on Pentaxians.com! Thank heavens my LBA isn't so severe and that lens isn't located in the States.
