With the aid of Babelfish I can deduce that it's stop-down metering (no auto-aperture coupling) and that they suggest it would be of interest to collectors (rather than people who are looking for something usable, I suppose). >Is it possible it's been adapted and it works?!?

Well, the film-plane to lens-flange distance is the same for both mounts, but since this conversion forces you to use stop-down metering, they apparently don't have much else in common. -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
