T mount lens adapters - a question.

The great benefit of sticking with Pentax for me has been the continued use of M42 screw thread lenses. I use them with a small Pentax K ring to M42 thread in both my film and digital SLRs. I've recently acquired for a very small sum a 200mm M42 lens that has a T mount attached to it. As it still h

Re: lens adapters

Hi, I think an adapter for any type of lens that has a longer register (flange to film) distance by some amount required to machine a thin/thick adapter is possible. Problem with Pentax vs other brands wrt adapters is that most other new - changed mount - brands (EOS, Minolta) use

lens adapters
