Yeah, I got my numbers backwards in my first post. But my followup had it correct and this adapter *will* work: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/995307-REG/fotodiox_fd_pk_g_pentax_k_camera_lens.html But it does contain a glass element and, as one PDML'er put it a few years ago "will add nothing but suck to your photos". It's essentially a 1.1x teleconverter with cheap, crappy elements. But those lens elements are removable and you can use the teleconverter that way if you don't mind losing infinity focus and automatic stop-down. It'll probably be good for just close up work when used with a 50mm lens, due to the additional space between the body and lens. I have one that I use for putting my Sigma 180/3.5 macro (K-mount) on my Sony A850 body. -- 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.
