Hi looks like you sold them already. I'm interested in getting hold of a Pentax K -> m4/3 adapter to fit an SMC Pentax-A 1:2 50mm and an SMC Pentax-M Macro 1:4 100mm to a Lumix GF1. Will complement the 20mm pancake I have for it at the moment, although it would be nice to have faster lens at 100mm.
Do you remember the supplier/manufacturer of the two items you sold? Maybe I can try them directly.

Hi,
I originally got them from eBay seller "ciecio7", who is based in Poland and the adapter quality was pretty good.
I replaced them with the Novoflex adapters, as their K-mount adapter has a control ring for the aperture so you you use it with DA lenses link.
Voigtlander also do K -> m4/3 adapter link
I would avoid cheap adapters - I bought one and had to return it because it wouldn't focus to infinity

I have a pair of adapters for sale to allow Pentax lenses to be used on Micro 4/3 cameras like the Olympus E-P1 and Panasonic GF1/G1/GH1.
Both adapters allow infinity focus and the index mark on the lens is in the correct place when mounted on the camera, unlike the cheap adapters from China
Made in the EU from anodised aluminium, brass and chrome.
Pentax K -> m4/3: £40
M42 -> m4/3: £30
Free postage to forum members.
PM me if interested.
Thanks,
R
