Norwegian kippers? Good grief, man. The British Isles is home to the world's best kippers, and the best in the British Isles come from half a mile away.

If you doubt me, see this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kipper

Norwegian kippers, indeed! Sort of like German Spaghetti, or Spanish Haggis.

PS: They mate for life, and stay in pairs even when deceased.
Sorry George, my knowledge and experience of all things Kipper is extremely limited, so thanks for putting me straight

And I always thought Yorkshire pudding was invented in my mothers kitchen when I was a kid

Let us know if you need a food parcel, Clarky. How about a dozen pairs of nice kippers?

Sorry shim, I do own the Pentax slide copier K but I have never used it, its sitting in its box in pristine condition. I don't have any slides to use with it i'm afraid.

At a guess, I would try the Pentax M 50mm Macro, but it may not be any different than the A version. ::

I wonder how the 77mm ltd will work with it :

It works fine on a manual camera. But obviously it doesn't focus for you.

G
Because the lens cell is loose, I would have thought it would move about on a manual camera, also you would have to move the lens cell to the correct position before you put it on the camera.

Pentax do have a Caution in the manual that says:
"This adapter cannot be used as a rear converter"

shim
What about using it on my DS with an M42 adapter and Takumar lenses. It won't auto focus I know, but it won't do any harm either, will it :
