Great photos are 95% technique and 5% equipment.
Unfortunately one can not go out and buy technique; one has to study, and
practice, and put in lots of effort to acquire it. So it will never be as
fashionable as buying a new camera, or lens, or filter, or whatever.

Agreed. But a custom made mount would work, if costly.

Try a Nikon FM2n if you ever get a chance, it a real camera and is
very intuitive and usable.
I promise to try it out if I can get a person at a camera store to let
me :o) I'm still being asked for my hall pass at the local high
school though!

I don't have any specifications on it. It would probably depend on the
design and focal length of the lens used as much as anything.

Correct, but if it were wider, it might have been possible to make an
adapter even if the registry

Why do I disagree with that? Of course it may be different than its
predicessors, but I alway found them clunky to say the least.

Ann,
As far as I'm aware, the standard mount adaptor for K mount to EOS EF-S
should just fit to the lens mount on the lens. You shou;ldn't have to do
any changes to the lens itself (these weren't available when Cotty did
his surgery).

I think that Cotty would have done it anyway. I don't know for sure, I'm
sure he'll chime in but he has one of the models that requires that the
aperture actuator be excised, sort of like a forced circumcision.

Did any of you know that it is possible to fit an EOS lens to the K10D?
This chap was selling a 600mm f/4 with IS. In one of his sample images
there is a white object with a brown background.

I can't say I notice a huge improvement, it was good before.

apparently my friend went out and bought a digital pentax today,
because he couldn't bear to not use his lenses.
score one for Pentax!

Short answer. Yes. But since the Nikon lens mount is a narrower opening
than the K mount it won't be able to register the correct back focus and
the lens won't achieve infinity focus. So the adapter is of limited use.
(I've never seen one by the way, only heard of them).

The difference is ~2mm in Pentax's favor. I don't know what the
tolerances are but it seems to me that you would expect a 46mm opening
for Pentax vx 44mm opening for Nikon. This implies that it would be
unwise to attempt to mount a Pentax lens on a Nikon body unless you are
willing to risk
