Yes, I was considering adapting that bit but will just use a short extension tube on the back of the bellows.

On a whim I've just bought a set of Bellows and as luck would have it I also got hold of an M42 to K mount adaptor that fits snugly inside the mount (don't think it's genuine Pentax though)

What I need now is a reasonably priced M42 lens to stick on the front (around £30 would be nice), I seem to recall reading the Takumar 55mm is a sound option but what else could you guys suggest, would a faster lens make very much difference to how bright the viewfinder is going to be?

Oh Dear!

I knew Digital Rev was silly but that's going a bit too far, some idiot will end up trying that with an airline and injure someone

Pensioners Specials aren't big enough for my belly, I need the Billy Murg Special

Where in the description does it say "made from the finest quality Dragon Skin"

Tell the guy your not willing to give up the copyright but you would be willing to offer him a licence to market and use the images in ways that would be of mutual benefit, if he's no happy with that then walk away.

As the rest of the sensor looks ok this is obviously something that the cameras dust removal can't shift, and as it's been there so long it's doubtful a rocket blower will help, you need to invest in some wet cleaners.

I doubt it's a fault with the sensor, the halo effect is a characteristic of dirt.

Could quite well be a Pentax Stan link

I've just turned down the chance of a P30T with Pentax A 50mm f2 (I hoped it would be an f1.7)

Guy was asking £40, if anyone is interested drop me a PM for his email address.
