I could use screw mounts with adapter. In fact that's what's I've been doing, but now tthe spring on the adapter broke, my Pentacon 135 is clogging up, the aperture blades on my Sun 80-200 zoom are getting sticky, I'm finding it too much of an hassle changing lenses on the locations I'll be shooting etc.. Also I've decided not to pay any but symbolic money for screw mounts (except maybe for a Pentax 85 1.8), since stores won't even consider them for trade ins and so forth. Maybe I will take a shot at some flea markets in Stockholm, where one might run into some cheap Chinon lenses or the like... Or, if I'm lucky, somebody local will come up with a conveniant deal. Thanks, Lasse
