I'm currently scouring e-bay for suitable candidates from the Zeiss and Leica families! Trouble is that unlike many of the Pentax lenses (I have more than listed!) which I picked up 'for nothing' during the hiatus when Pentax did not have a popular offering, and people unloaded to move to Canon and Nikon, I seem to have stumbled across the benefits of the 4/3 system rather late? I was put off by the lack of 'native' affordable good lenses, without thinking of the merits of adapters. Silly me! Oh well, and you hail from Budapest, one of my all-time favourite places. As a European exiled in America I miss the sites and sights of my home continent!

Come sometimes here many people love to photography old cities as mine. My main interest is Carl Zeiss Jena lenses, but I found many many good Olympus and Nikkor lenses too. I tested so many Takumars, but generally I like them less than above lenses.

How funny! I just (5 mins ago) bought an Oreston 50mm 1.8 on e-bay only a few dollars, so no great shame if it's no good, but it looked fine and seems to have reasonable reviews, no Pancolor perhaps but????? I remember having one of these on an Exacta (really a practica product) RTL10000 way back when I could still touch my toes! Been to Budapest, loved it and hated leaving! Along with Prague and Vienna (and Amsterdam for its compactness) one of my all time favourites!

Prague and Vienna are so clean nice looking cities, Budapest unfortunately not thanks for our liberal politicians.

Pentaxian,
Today, I did sucessfully convert the Minolta MC Rokkor-PF 58/1.4 into P/K. I repeated almost exactly the same as cogitech in his instruction of converting the Minolta 58/1.2 to EOS http://www.cogitech.ca/Rokkor/index.html . The only extra work is to sand the lens mount shim a little more. This helps the lens focus to infinity due to the longer register distance of P/K compared to EOS.
Everything works fine and here are some sample shots of the Minolta MC Rokkor-PF 58/1.4 on my K10D

Congrats xtriky, this conversion looks like a great success judging by the lovely pictures you took with the converted lens.
Cheers!

Aww I love that squirrel!!
Here where I live, we mostly have red squirrel (colour similar to red fox).
Brown squirrels sometimes, but less often.

wow, I find this great news and of outmost interest xtriky!
Did Minolta produce different kind of MF lenses or asking differently, can thus all MF Minolta lenses be converted to fit on K mount?
I definityely want to learn how to and try to do this!
great photos, the squirrel is amazing!
cheers,
Andreas

I am not very familiar with Minolta MF lenses so can't tell you if they all can be converted to P/K or not. However, I think all Rokkor lenses that have a "lens mount shim" can be successfully converted to P/K in the same way I did. |

hm..you may have misunderstood the term MF, what I meant with MF was Manual Focus lenses
What is the "lens mount shim"?

I think I got you right on the term MF. As far as I know all Minolta MF lenses are known as Rokkor. For the "lens mout shim", You'd better go to the link I gave. In that link, cogitech shows a detailed steps by steps intruction in coverting Minolta to EOS. You need to sand the "lens mount shim" to obtain the infinity focus for P/K. |
