I got mine yesterday as well, but haven't yet tried it on. It looks very well made - I'll try every lens I have to see if they stop all the way down.
Thank you Alex!
(I plan to do a presentation of this, with pictures, at Pentax forums, drum up some business for this excellent idea.)
Oh, the cute little cushioned shipping bag with string closure is perfect to hold exposed 120 film.

Mine turned up today and as said it's well made and does the job - fitted beautifully on my Tak' 50/1.4. Unfortunately I was hoping to use it on my sigma but it is just a shade too deep, unless you take out the filter.  Seems only the other sort will fit.
So if anyone wants one....? £10 including postage.
BtW - Thanks Alex - great stuff - shame it didn't fit but worth a try. the Tak did stop down fine.

Hi, got mine too; one problem with mine, though. If I twist the lens clockwise just a little strongly, then the adapter continues to turn clockwise, and the lens becomes loose. Shouldn't there be a stopper somewhere? I'm a bit bummed because some of my M42 lenses have tight helicoids, which require a rather firm twist to focus. If it weren't for that, I'd love this adapter, which, despite the inclusion of the "removal tool" doesn't require it, and can be removed with my fingers, just like the genuine Pentax adapter

Actually since I've used mine the same has happened. It seems the end of the lug after the flexible end of the spring clip is angled, and it can slide over the stopper. The answer in my case was to grind it flat (or vertical in fact) with a dremel, and problem solved, took about a minute, there is a slighht play but it won't go past the stopper any more. If you have another infinity focus PK adapter and compare the 2 you will see what I mean. Hope this helps |

Huh, OK, I think I see what you mean. Unfortunately, I don't have a dremel... maybe I'll use this as an excues to get one

Hello,
I tried mine w/ third party K mount adapter from Ebay.I turn my M42 lens clockwise (Pentacon 135,f2. .It sit about 15 degree before it should be stopped (from the Top).
Is it a normal condition for lenses other than Pentax M42?

The position can vary depending on where the thread of the screw inside the adapter begins, I had one where the m42 lens was upside down, it worked but you couldn't see any of the setttings Better quality adapters are usually like yours fairly close if not necessarily perfect. |

I used mine carefully having read the comments here and haven't had a problem. All the various lenses I tried stopped all the way down, but I haven't yet found (!) all my M42 lenses to try.
I have a Rikenon 28mm that stops with the settings are 45 degrees past 12 noon. Kind of useless with regular cameras - the pin also is 45 degrees off where it should be. Once I find the damn thing I'll try it with this adapter, it should at least be usable. I'll have to take the bottom off the lens to see if I can re-attach 1/3 of the way back, and still have the aperture pin mechanism work...

Hi,
Just wanted to say thanks for the Dremel suggestion. I ran into the same issue with my adapter - which has otherwise worked perfectly - and a little bit of careful grinding seems to have cured it completely. (It took me a little longer than a minute, but that's entirely attributable to the user's skill level.)
I thought it might not be a bad thing, also, to bump this thread up - just in case other folks are encountering the same issue.
Cheers,
Jon |

I got the same problem, but I cannot figure out what to do, (language problems, you know, english not being my mother tongue....).
Would you be so kind of shooting a picture for me?.
Thanks in advance,

Where the arrow is pointing is where the edge of the lug needs to be ground off square, with a vertical cut downwards. You can see where I did it as the brass colour is showing though. This should stop the adapter riding over the stopper in the mount. I hope this is ok for you Jes I can try to post some more shots if you need |

Well, it's the only adapter of this kind (flanged M42 to Pentax-K) and has been designed by our request, so I can accept that early models like this one are not "perfect".
Knowing Alex, I'm pretty sure it will manage to update the design for the new batches coming.
Otherwise, the adapter is very well built and finished, and the price is adequate.
All in all I'm happy even with this minor nuisance.
Regards,
Jes.

Thanks Poolhall, I followed your advice and it works very well now.
Interesting point is that the unmodified adapter works fine on other PK mount cameras like my LX and SF10. Its just the DSLR's that have this problem.

Hello,
where can I buy the adapter? Does it preserve infinity focus? Is it the same design as the original K-M42 Pentax adapter?
Thanks,
Nima |

To reply quickly Nima, send a pm to Alex (hk300) to buy the adapter, he may have some left, it will focus to infinity, and it is very similar to the original design but has an extra flange to engage the push pin on auto m42 lenses, so that they are manual. |

Thanks for the quick reply.
One more question: Is it possible to srew this adapter sort of permanently to the lens so that it leaves the "fiddling" adapter into bayonet action out of the picture? |

Dont know about this type but I did fix a standard m42-k infinity adapter to a Russian Telear. I took off the spring clip that locks the adapter in place to the camera. Then I used the tiny screw that holds the spring clip to lock the adapter to the lens but not too tight! or you will damage the threads of the m42 mount. To lock the lens to the camera I drilled a small hole and put a small screw into the base of the lens so it would catch with the lock (which goes up and down when you press the release button on the front of the camera). On most lenses a small hole or depression would be enough to lock the lens to the camera, but not for this mount. If you are careful the whole process is reversible too, it depends on how far you want to go with it. I hope this is of some assistance |
