Canon won't fit at all because the mount opening is bigger and the distance from the mount to the sensor is shorter.
The thing you could do is buy a Canon camera and use an adapter to use Pentax lenses that would work.
Those two lenses might sell quite well on eBay so you could do that and get yourself some DA* lenses in return.
Nikon and Pentax are closer together in specs, so it might work.

Only Canon's APS-C cameras: on the full-frame ones (5D and 1D series) the mirror hits one of the sticky-out bits (yes that is a technical term!) on the back of the lens.The thing you could do is buy a Canon camera and use an adapter to use Pentax lenses that would work.
Back on topic, Canon L lenses tend to hold their value better than just about anything else. Be sure to post an LBA thread telling us what you get with the proceeds

Do you mean the aperture lever?

If your intending to do bird photography. Pentax don't make a 100-400mm zoom and the Canon one is a bit of a cracker I think there were two versions and it's the later one that they all rave about even though MTF tests on it don't look that bright. Your nearest option in Pentax glass would be the DA* 300mm f/4 or a Sigma.

Are you sure? I thought that was just the EF-S lenses and all the L-series lenses were full frame.Anvh wrote:

Just measured the aperture lever.
It sticks out 6mm so that would mean it would intrude the Canon mount with 4,5mm I doubt the mirror would come so close too the mount but everything is possible.
Nothing stick out further then that with the lenses I've
