Hi all,

Last week-end i found a Vivitar 75-205/3.8 in P/K mount in a montly street market here ... I was at first disappointed, as it didn't fit my K10D, although it was on an old Pentax body. Then, i asked on a forum about this behavior, and got a reply pointing me to the size of the rear flange of the lens ...
So, finally i bought it (with a 50% discount from the seller, since it was not directly usable on a digital body), and dremelled its rear flange, using another P/K lens as model ...
Now, it perfectly fits my K10D, and i have been quite impressed by its IQ:

Seriously good one! I think one of the best or best budget zoom what I seen. Thank you for sharing!
