Thanks John,
Normally I would, as you say, just bump these out, but the belonged to my father and for that reason I would have liked to make a little use of them.
However, if I can't get to use them on my Pentax I may have a go on the old OM1 body with that funny old stuff that comes on rolls,,,what was it called :

Hello again my knowledgable freinds,
I have inherited an old Olympus OM1; It comes with a F.Zuiko 1.8/50mm lens and a Sun formula v 4.5/85-210. Both these lenses fit directly to the OM1 body without an adapter, so, presumably the are designated OM1 fit.
My question is: Does anyone here please have any knowledge / expreience of adapters to suit?
Thank you.

I seem to have upset some folks by stating my 'stockholding', mistakenly thinking it might be of interest; AND I seem to have opened a rather daft can of worms.
So before anyone else starts chucking thier toys out of the pram I'll see if I can't clean up my little mess.
Sincere apologies for any offence I may have caused.

Hi all,
Got any ideas? I have a Nikon D100 & a cople of lenses & various accesories; This is what got me hooked on this hobby, they are all in first class condition but now that I have the K20D I would like to get another Pentax digital body, so any ideas where / how to go about affecting a swap?
I have not tried but I am sure that approaching a retailer would see me £££'s the worse.

I have 4 of them and they all work perfectly. I also have one genuine Pentax adaptor to compare them to, and honestly, I can see no effective difference.
I have worked as a quality control manager in a precision engineering environment so I have a critical eye for engineering quality.
I have no connection, or loyalty to SRB, I have just found their adaptors and some other products well up to the standards I expect.
I never use the 'tool' to remove the adaptor though, I just use a fingernail or the small screwdriver attachment of my multitool.
And on some lenses I have removed the spring and just tighten the adaptor onto the lens with a lens cap.
I've never had a lens fall off yet.
Thank's, as you suggest, I just took off the little leaf spring and you are quite right, thank you I have 4 of them and they all work perfectly. I also have one genuine Pentax adaptor to compare them to, and honestly, I can see no effective difference.

All seems sound advice, might be fun
