Contax - Yashica lens adapter?

Hello!

I have a friend, who is a long time Yashica user and, he has acquired quite a collection of fairly good Contax/Yashica glass (with Yashica bayonet mount). He is considering to jump on the digital train ad was quite impressed with the Pentax K100D and K10D bodyes.
His only concern, or should I say, wish is, that he would like to use his old lenses with new body.
If anyone knows where to buy a Contax/Yashica (CY) to Pentax K adapter, the information will be much appreciated.

Thank You!

Regards,
Bostjan

There is no C/Y to PK adapter. I can forward you a link to show how to non-destructively remove the C/Y mount and replace it with a donor PK mount if he's interested in that - otherwise Canon EOS or Oly 4/3rds are the only digital options for his lenses.

I'd appreciate it if you'd post that link. I found it a while ago and forgot to bookmark it.

Thanks. That was actually different than the one I had come across before. I ended up finding it again today. Manual Focus Forum / My new camera and lens. No pictures to guide use as a guide, but the same basic thing.

Thanks guys for Your help. I suspected that the C/Y to PK mount will be a hard one...
