I know that these type of lenses, especially the 500/4.5, were very easy to convert to another mount. That's why if you stumble on a 500/4.5 in Nikon mount you can bet that it was probably an Associated Press lens from the time when they switched to Nikon. Although they probably did some for others at the time (some NYC company did the switch). Kent Gittings

It must be that all of the longer lenses have that design? In my original post I was referencing the auction page but the bottom photo never loaded. So, I looked at it after Shel's post and noticed the bottom pic (this time the page loaded instanteously). Sure enough, "PENTAX SMC." That's no screw mount lens. Plus it's identical to the lens on Boz's site... Brendan - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
