This is a non photography thing. Went to Specsavers last week ( two for the price of one and half price for the eye test) Nevertheless it gave me no little pleasure to discover that the lenses in my two new pair of glasses were made by Pentax. By the way I can see now.

My glasses came from Vision Express, and the lenses came out of boxes branded - Pentax! Mind you lenses branded Pentax are actually Hoya - The main reason why Hoya bought Pentax in the first place, not the Camera division. Still I can proudly say I see though Pentax Lenses......

When I found that out I thought I'd save some money on my next glasses, but getting the 50mm primes to stay in the old frames was too much bother

The frames, were they K or m42? are you sure you you just did not have them cross threaded?
