Take one of these, a used Novoflex COA (M42) adapter, costing around €20...
Add one of these, a cheapy M42->PK ring with flange,costing €5...
Put some low-strength Loctite in the threads and let cure for 10 minutes on top of a heater.
Then adjust the three retaining screws to align the lens to the camera and you end up with this, costing about €25, instead of the Novo one which costs €70. Just pretend, for a moment, the camera is a Pentax
If you ever have to take it apart, the Loctite will degrade with heat, so boil it in a pot. _________________ Dave - Moderator Camera Fiend and Biograph Operator If I wanted soot and whitewash I'd be a chimney sweep and house painter. The Lenses of Farside (click)
