Reso. Please. What sort of money is this one going for? Been on the lookout for a very long time. I have never seen the F version advertised for sale.

Dan. The Gallery is a doddle. Why does it have to be so long winded for the Forum. I know! I have had it explained.
Would be interesting to put pics on the Forum so that the experts could have a field day.
Also interested in moving some of my excess baggage but would need pictures, I guess.
Guess I'm kinda happy in my ignorance. The Gallery keeps me motivated, and occasionally I get a kind comment to cheer an old photographer up a little.
Now! What did I have to do with that pheasant. Oh! Yes. Find some spiders.

Just have, David. Came in the post this morning. Still!! Life goes on and so do the challenges.

Dan. After a dozen frustrating attempts to upload pics to the Forum, I guess I am so thick as to be unteachable. Have my son visiting soon. I will try his patience.
Nathanever82 (Where is he, these days) gave me precise instructions yonks ago. Never fathomed it.

I am watching for the best 'classic' deffinition.

I could actually raise a dead phesant, but where would I get the cobwebs!!??


Might just have a shot at this, if only I could master uploading the pics.

To the uninitiated. What is 'Still life'?
Photography can be so perplexing at times!

Have succeeded. 645 to K mount.

I took the M42mm route.

Johnwhit kindly donated the 645 lens cap. Thanks John.

First used a K body mount to M42mm screw thread.
Connected to this is a M42mm extension tube 10mm.

Made a hole in the cap to fit a flanged adapter with M42mm thread. This was cut off one of the other extenders.

With the flange inside the cap, screwed the threaded end into the other end of the 10mm extender. All nice and tight.
Its my first attempt.

I would prefer to use the K mount fitting from the end of a lens but, as you know, could not shift the screws.

If anyone has such a end fitting they do not need, then I would be grateful for the offer. The 135 lens cost a tenner from my co-operative local photo shop.
My preferred method, using the lens end mount would be a stainless steel tube with a 49mm inside thread at one end and an external 49mm thread the other.
I am also chasing a Pentax K mount to a 49mm external thread. Just need to check that the length of tubing is right.

Andrew. It is manual. You are welcome to trial it. No commitment either way.

Tried all the obvious routes. No success. It is a Pentax M version 135 F3.5. lens. Screws are stuck real tight. Just my luck. Have to try another route for the adapter.

I am hoping to buils a 645 to K mount. Has anyone any experience of removing a K mount from a lens. Are the screws glued in. I cannot shift any of them.

Thanks Tim. I find it a challenge. What would it be used for? I can find no obvious use for me.
