Surely they should have realised they'd have been better off just buying a Pentax camera to put on that lens!

I agree, in fact not so long ago in the uk the guy would have been deported to Australia for it And here I was thinking you guys had done really well at breeding out the CRIMINAL element

Dont you fancy buying it Clarky and converting it back?

Its not deportation to Australia but transportation get it right son

And yes very tempted to buy it. I even messaged the guy asking what it would take to change it back.

Ah but they ALWAYS could, theres plenty of Pentax to Canon adaptors out there Actually I wonder if this is one reason that Pentax have persevered with the K mount, because it adapts to wider mounts easier?
