As much as I read comments about cheap adapters providing infinity focus, I'd be more concerned about getting the adapter stuck on the camera. Not too bad if it's an old 'cheap' film body, not so great if it's an expensive DSLR.
The genuine Pentax one is the only one I'd use, irrespective of the cost difference, admittedly I have one for sale but I'm rethinking that as they're always useful to have.
Cheers John, I get what you're saying, completely As much as I read comments about cheap adapters providing infinity focus, I'd be more concerned about getting the adapter stuck on the camera. Not too bad if it's an old 'cheap' film body, not so great if it's an expensive DSLR.

It's like spending 1200 quid on a lens a d putting a cheap resin filter in front of it.
I have seen your ad, and was sorely tempted,
I think I'll hold fire for now, this microscope thing may turn into a winter project, so I am in no hurry.
Thanks for all the advice guys.

This will be for use with a asahi pentax m42 microscope adapter
I dont know if that makes any difference or not,
To be honest , I'm not sure if the adapter is meant to attach to a microscope or a microscope objective
Just thought I'd give it a try.

Hi guys, are there different versions of these adapters and are some better than others, any I should avoid ?
I dont want anything that might or can get stuck on the camera.
Cheers

Glad its not the serious one; hope things settle quickly for you. As above - pretty scary.
Something we all tend to take for granted.
Fingers crossed that all ends well.
