M42 Adapter?

[garyc]

I have been looking for an M42 screw thread to K-mount adapter without any luck. Does anyone know where to go in PTA for one of these, or alternatively if there is an local online site that sells them?

I have tried Radiolens and the local major sites. The last resort will be to pay the courier fees from an overseas site.

I'm pretty sure you can find that on dx.com, if you are willing to wait.

Edit: have you tried Outdoorphoto?

I suspect that will end up being something like dx.com or B&H.

Guess that there will be no harm in asking Outdoorphoto if they can get one.

I got an adapter to use my old pentax lenses on my eos bodies from Amazon. I think I took a dozen frames and put it in a drawer.

Thanks, the prices on Amazon look good.

This is for a very good sample Zeiss 135mm lens, so it seems like a good idea to get full use out of it.

Bought this one a few weeks ago for my Canon 600D.

See that they are out of stock of K-mount at the moment, but this is an interesting site in general. Must have a more thorough browse through it sometime.

Was just there. They say they can order one for me. With some of the specials that they are running I am tempted to include a whole new camera with that
