Hi,
I've just started a photography course at uni, which has a store that allows us to borrow lenses. The problem is that it's all canon stuff.
Is it possible to find an adaptor that will allow me to fit a canon lens of onto my K10D?

Thanks

Hate to say this, but if its a photography course, its probably worth investing in a cheap canon.

Itll save you money in the long run.

I considered investing in a canon but I don't really have enough money to go and buy another slr. I wouldn't want to buy lower than the EOS 450d, if I had to buy one at all.

I've got my eye on using the EF 50MM f/25 compact macro, the telezoom EF 75-300 III F4-5.6 amoung the many others.

Pentax lenses can be made to fit Canon bodies with an adapter. Canon lens mounts are substantially bigger in diameter than the Pentax K mount, and therefore can't be adapted to fit Pentax bodies.

bodies don't make all that much difference
especially in that line of cameras, theyre all the same
im sure you could find a cheap 350D or 30D if you wanted.

you cant get adapters for pentax due to canon lenses being alot bigger, and therefore, you will spend more money on glass than you would on a cheap (lets say £200) canon body.
