Very interesting photos. I like the goats, rarely see any
in the UK.

Argos on ebay have a Samsung NX100 with 20-50mm lens for £200
You can get an adapter for K bayonets.

The two scanners I've got... Nikon LS-30 and Olympus ES-10 are both very slow. Photographing the slides with the Pentax-M bellows and slide adapter is very quick. Using a K-5 with highlight and shadow protection would probably make life easier.

I think the Pentax USA forum was formed due a fallout with DP

The Cosina made one was K mount the original Tomioka was
made in M42 only. I presume that Cosina had to bring the K
mount out because Tomioka had switched over to Zeiss Contax
Yashica lenses only.

Because they had to cut off part of the rear element of the
M42 lens, because of the pin it has a Bokeh that's like
no other lens. It's the Chinon M42 that I've got, but it
also says Tomioka on the ring. The other one is the Porst
K mount.

OK Gary there seems to be a bit of confusion
I remember someone posting something about lens tests on that
site and the Canon ones were tweaked to show them in a better
light The site's now owned by Amazon so depending on
who's actually managing it there might be less bias. It's
still a really horrible slow interface and links to it aren't
allowed on the Pentax US forum

What you mean it's stuck!

Nice lens I've got the 'K' version plus two Tomioka 55mm f/1.2's
I'll have to get rid of at least one shortly

That's a pretty awful Canikon site that's also very slow and
got a poorly designed user interface. Why any Pentaxian
would go there I can't imagine. Just look at how many K-01
posts there have been on the US forum plus the other sites
mostly linked from Ricehighs site.

You seem to get a kick out of posting anything negative you
can find about Pentax. You might as well not bother because
I don't think anyone else is
