Yes. You should check out Bojidar Dimitrov's Pentax K-Mount Page. It has all the information you can possibly need about Pentax Kmount cameras, lenses and accessories. It covers film (35 mm and medium format) and digital camera systems. http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/ Cheers Brian ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://members.westnet.com.au/brianwal/SL/ -- -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Does exactly what it says on the tin -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
