The Pentax bellows arrived. Very tiny and lightweight. You can tell it was made for a Pentax screw mount and that lenses were much smaller back then.
Interesting sidenote, the guy I bought it from lives in Concord, CA. I used to live there as well so we traded notes. Turns out he was on Guam right after I left in 68 and before I returned in 72. He bought the bellows over there through the Navy Exchange (BX). I discovered last night that a K mount t-2 adapter will screw on the M-42 threads on the rear, making attachment to the K mount bodies a cinch. Also, since it is so tiny, the prism/flash protusion doesn't interfer with the bellows. Now I just have to wait for the M39 adapter to arrive to put an enlarging lens on for some test shots. I have an old Leitz 100mm f/4 lens from a Focomat I used to own. It should be a good choice.
