Novoflex lens adapters

This may be old news, but according to a.n. other website, well known for its industry previews, Novoflex have just announced a new range of adapter rings that will allow K-mount lenses to be used on micro 4/3rds cameras while retaining the ability to focus to infinity and use aperture-priority mode. OK, I imagine the focal length would change from 1.6 to 2 x, but the prospect of using some of the limited lenses on, say, an Olympus Pen are quite interesting and, potentially anyway, gives users of Pentax lenses some extra possibilities. I think the adapters are starting to go on sale about now.

That's very interesting.

The adaptor makes sense to me because my main interest in Pentax is in the lenses - it'd be great to have another range of cameras they could be used on. And I use aperture priority all the time anyway, so no great loss in usability.

Given Pentax's commitment to good quality compact fixed focus lenses, I'd think there would be many people who'd like to use them on other cameras too.

I bet the adpators are expensive!
