I didn't see anything on the forums regarding this - I've got a nice Nikkor ED AF 80-300 2.8 zoom and a speedlight sb-22 but finding it hard to get info on adapters. Could I use the flash as a slave? it has an pc/xSync port which my k200d lacks, I'd love to get it working some way.

I understand mount adapters can result in the lens unable to focus to infinity, but I can't find if even a non-infinity-focusing adapter is available.

UPDATE - found this thread about nikon flashes with pentax, I guss I'll have to play around with it but sounds like it'll work! the lens is a much bigger deal though...

thanks for any info.
