Are there any 'long' 'Series A' manual focus lenses.
My 80-320mm FA really struggles to focus with moon shots & other long distance efforts - you can't set the lens manually to infinity because it 'goes' slightly beyond (its just the way the AF lenses work).
for thermal expansion and contraction.

Almost any lens will fit on a Canon because it's registration distance is small at 44mm.... Pentax is 45.46mm so no correction lens needed.
Nikon is 46.5mm so a correction lens is needed for infinity focus with Pentax lenses.
That's sorted then. Only leaving the question of why would anyone want to use Pentax glass on a Nikon, Canon or Sony?
With the exceptions of my 70-200 EX Mk1 and Bigma I don't use third party glass on my DSLR's.
Best regards
It does need a lens to use Minolta MD lenses they were 43.72mm.
The last one I saw was about £200 Ouch!!!!

below.
The burnt out edges of the leaf are distracting. The picture does
show possibilities though, it might be worth a retake. The drop needs
to be sharper and clearer and (not really possible) bigger. A crop
would help, but the only way to really improve it is to throw in
some additional light (reflector or flash) to balance up the
shadows and highlights better. A diffuser held to tone down the
sunlight might also help. I'd keep the drop central.

with a K10D as well who needs a K-5
