problems there

Unless the bayonet adapter is a tight fit, you will need
to cut a slot in the lens to take the pin/release on the camera body.

worth changing to a K-5 for better high ISO performance, although
with the days getting lighter there's no need to rush. The
K20 is a very competent camera.

Do they still have butterflies, peacocks, ducks etc. at
Mossbank Park? I've not been there for about 4 years.

finder for the K-01.... possibly with bright frames.

was on BBC4 last night. It made me realise that things
were a lot more mystical in the late 60's.
It's missing from pop music nowdays.
Amazing the work George got through.

...so I just got a *ist DL2...
How do folks pronounce that, by the way, the *ist bit?
Zeiss T* Lens = T(STAR)
In MS DOS *.* is a Wild card and is pronounced (STAR)(DOT)(STAR)
There was also a DOS Magazine called "STAR-DOT-STAR"
See link
So *ist must be (STAR)IST
Bit too complicated for the average Pentax User!

Keep an eye out on Ebay.
You could get a nice set of Vivitar AT-22 tubes for around £20-£25 in pristine condition, all-metal and very well made with just the aperture linkage.
£40 or so will get you a nice set with the 'A' contact. A PK/A set with full contacts will normally set you back around £70-£100 depending on the make.
These are PK/A and cheap at present, but I can't comment on the quality:

Someone paid £102.99 for them What an idiot If someone else had bid £103 he/she would have lost them for a Penny!

18-55mm is, not only sharp, but has handled the reds perfectly.
