The Tamron just needs the minolta Adaptall 2 mount replaced with either a PK or PK/A. The PK will mean the lens will be all manual but the PK/A will give you auto metering and aperture.
PK mount is approx £20 and the PK/A (quite difficult to find) around £60 ... look on Ebay

SRS have a PK mount in the used equipment section of their site. Might be worth having a word with them and see if they have a PK/A or can let you know when one comes in.

Pentax k1000, MX, ME Super, K5iiD 18-55, Tamron 70-300, Tamron 500 mirror, pentax 10-17, 50 1:4, a manual 28, some extension tubes and a bagful of memory cards. That's all i need... and a load of film cameras too... that's it, honest.

1. A vivitar 80-200mm 1:4.5 macro zoom with a 2x tele converter Pentax pk mount.
2. A Tamron Adaptall 2 SP 52A 70-210mm with macro, this lens has a Minolta mount.
3. A focal 2.8-70mm macro with a 2x auto teleplus converter, also a Minolta mount.
Oh and a Minolta x-300 slr.
The Vivitar is straight forward.
The Tamron is a brilliant lens, so can I get Minolta to pk adapters still and where? If I can get an adapter for the Tamron I will be able to use it on my gx 10 now that I know how to switch to manual focus.
Any unforeseen dangers and warnings will be welcomed.
I'm now going back into my cupboard to see what else I have.

Rex.
