Hi,
I thought you had B+W filters for the lenses already. In that case you
could just take the glass out of them and replace it with cut down
Pentax glass, so there'd be no additional buying and selling other
than the SMC filters. Still expensive, of course, and I wouldn't do
it, but it's a possibility.
