Hello Paul,
My portrait hat donned, this comes across as a fun, before the real
shot, shot. It is kind of fun in a way, but probably not a shot that

Standard, 35mm to 135mm Leica M or LTM lenses won't work on any Pentax
film SLR or digital SLR. Mounting them is the same as putting them on
an extension tube, because they're further away from the film or sensor
