Please feel free to sell the adapter, I'm no longer interested.

Looks nice. Bear in mind that getting a good exposure on film is easier than with digital. My K200D has terrible AE, but my film cameras, despite being much older, behave much better.

Do the prices include delivery? I may be interested in the genuine M42->K adapter and possibly the Sigma 24mm, though I already have the AF version, so will need to give it some thought.

I think that the AF can be de-coupled from the shutter button (though I've never done it). With this setup, you AF with another button and the shutter button only fires the shutter. This may help you as AF while tracking a fast-moving subject will be tough, especially with the 55-300, which has a very long way to turn from closest focus to infinity.

Ditto with my K200D. Manual focusing was impossible without it, unless stopped down very far.

Exposure was not affected in the slightest.

Hasselblad lenses can be used, but Mamiya ones can't, due to registration length differences. Check ebay for adapters, though I've no idea of quality or cost.

Optically, I've no idea, though all the 75mm lenses are 6 elements in 5 groups, so very likely exactly the same design. I think the LS version has no A setting though, so fully automatic modes are not available.

Make sure you post some images when you get them. Good luck with your latest MF adventure.
