RE: [Fwd: Re: Question for seller -- Item #1316793311]
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).

RE: [Fwd: Re: Question for seller -- Item #1316793311]
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.

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.

That's the point it is not a screw mount version or it would say Takumar on it. There is no variance on this point.

Hi Bob, I don`t think any M42`s ever said SMC PENTAX on them. I think it was a K mount modified to be a T mount.

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.
