Along those lines -- I bought the adaptor to be able to put my 100 Pentax macro K mount onto my darkside Canon digital rebel 300d but I can't get anyone locally to do it... Is there someone on the list (Actually, Cotty suggested you , adam :) ) that would do it for me? I have no skills for such a thing - I can't even see the screws that need to be removed,etc. It was gonna be the only way I could ever put anything I took recently on PUG -- unless I met up with Nate and Amita every month and borrowed their Pentax gear . I still have my KX but can't afford to shoot film anymore. ann > >P. J. Alling wrote: > > >>Short answer. Yes.
