I guess if you like using manual lenses its a good buy. You will also need an adapter to if you plan on using them on your new K100D/K10
I had an old spottie and a couple of lenses given to me when i first got my K100D. Haven't purchased the adapter as yet.

The Super Tak 28 mm f3.5 is reckoned to be a good 'un....
So, I'd put that to good use on the Spottie with a nice B&W film...

I'm hoping to get an adapter setup on each so the K mounting will be seamless.
Will get the kit zoom too

The 360 Schneider is going to be fun
You are not wrong about shooting some film in the Spotmatic...

The adapter is designed to convert the body to accept screw mount lenses rather than convert the lenses to fit a K mount body. You'll need only one adapter.I'm hoping to get an adapter setup on each so the K mounting will be seamless.
As far as I know, you can't remover the adapter and lens together. First you unscrew the lens, then remove the adapter from the body with a small 'spanner' which is usually supplied with the adapter.

and fishing the thing off the body when I want the kit lens on..
I spose a fitting that contained the k mount mechanism would be thick and thus stuff up lens location...?

The K mount adapter is designed just as Mannesty describes.
If it were a thicker unit it would stop the lens focusing on infinity.
If you want to use screw thread lenses, then you do have to screw them on and off the camera.

I am sure that if you asked him, Don would advise the following:
1 Remove the little springy strip on the adapter that locks it onto the body.
2 Glue the adapter to the lens. (You'll need one per lens.)
3 Drill a shallow hole in the base of the lens so that it, rather than the adapter, locks onto the body.
Voila, you have a bayonet-mount SMC Takumar.

I love fixing things....
and that sounds like a workable idea....
also possible to lookup some collectors on the net or evilbay and see what you can get for em, put that towards new glass...
maybe somebody out there really wants to give them a home...
what does Mac from Montreal say?
