I'm resurrecting an old thread here, but I'm wondering if this is still the best information available about using Yashica len' on a Pentax ( K10 in my case )
I was talking to a guy who does house clearances today and I had my camera with me, so he started the sales pitch and eventually sold me a dead Weston Master 1V for next to nothing, but that's another story.
He's got to clear a house this week and there's a full kit of Yashica equipment, he thinks there's about 6 or 7 lenses, a couple of bodies and loads of 'stuff' ( flashes, filters etc )
My thinking is, if there's a full kit then someone was keen, if they were keen then it might have some good stuff?
If it's Yashica bayonet is the conversion to M42, as detailed in the link, worth the bother?

Could they be converted to a Pentax bayonet?
Are there particular Yashica lenses that I should pay good money for?
Or should I walk away and spend the money on beer?
