Re: Pentax 67 lens fitted to ZX-L.
- Original Message - From: "Trevor Bailey" Subject: Pentax 67 lens fitted to ZX-L. G'day All. I have interested in wether a Pentax 67 lens can be fitted to the ZX-L. Yes Does anyone know if it needs an adaptor? Yes. If so, where are they available? eBay works sometimes. I managed to buy two of em that way. how will the camera handle? Probably quite badly. Manual focus? Definitely metering? Maybe. etc etc blah blah blah. William Robb
RE: Pentax 67 lens fitted to ZX-L.
I don't know the lenses are. I haven't seen them as my mate lives in Ulladulla which is about 9 hours from me. He is going to bring them up in a month or so. I'll give you a Cooee when they arrive.
