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.

This seems to match some other posts. 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.

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.

Best regards,

Donna

I know that these type of lenses, especially the 500/4.5, were very easy to
convert to another mount. That's why if you stumble on a 500/4.5 in Nikon
mount you can bet that it was probably an Associated Press lens from the
time when they switched to Nikon. Although they probably did some for others
at the time (some NYC company did the switch).

Kent,

That has to be it. It must be that all of the longer lenses have that
design?

In my original post I was referencing the auction page but the bottom photo
never loaded. So, I looked at it after Shel's post and noticed the bottom
pic (this time the page loaded instanteously). Sure enough, "PENTAX SMC."
That's no screw mount lens. Plus it's identical to the lens on Boz's site...

Of course you need it! That deep seated wanting is but a sign of unconscious
recognition of fundamental drives which must be satisfied if your karma is
to remain in balance! Or whatever. However, you may also want to consider
this other ebay item, or something like it . . .
