Woa Peter, That was a long time ago. I had dual 8" floppies on my home brew computer. The data rate is twice that of the 5 1/4".

RE: Re: New Pentax DSLR With Exising K Mount
I think you can. The cable connections might need a bit of work and you might have to write a driver but there should be no impediment beyond that. (Then again I used to regularly write hardware drivers).

Re: Re: New Pentax DSLR With Exising K Mount
I don't see the problem with the M42 lenses. Since it's fairly sure the new DSLR with take K mount, the adaptor should work, and a good lens is a good lens. Besides, a digi-screwhead is SUCH a Pentax thing . . . ;-) Steven Desjardins I understand that the most valuable thing that is lost when using older lenses is the sophisticated metering of newer bodies. But this is true for K-series and M-series lenses also. Andre --

Re: Re: New Pentax DSLR With Exising K Mount
In fact Alek, I was serious. I would like to be able to use older screw mount lenses on a DSLR! Andre But it is important for many of us to use old manual lenses on new dslr. At least A lenses could be mounted and work like they do on MZS and PZ1p for instance. If not I think many people abandom PEntax, since compatibility is the best feature in Pentax.

Will it work on the DLSR with a combination of 2 adapters? I'd like to see the face of a young Pentax engineer being asked this question... It reminds me.. a friend of mine was at Future Shop discussing available software to transfer "long-plays" on CD when the seller wanted to make sure my friend understood that "it takes a special machine to play those older records"... Is it Off Topic or Anachronical Topic? Cheers, Andre -- --r-e-k-l-a-m-a- S´wieta tuz tuz! http://swieta.onet.pl --
