Ron.
I used an A* 85/1.4 and my other K-mount lenses on the Canon 40D I once owned. Just got me an adapter from this Chineese guy Jfinance on ebay and hooked it on. Lens mounted with the red aperture scale arrow at about 11 o´clock though, so using the 15/3.5 or the 31/1.8 made the setup look "a bit" twisted to say the least.
Don't those need correction lenses, though? There's no sense running primo glass through a ten dollar piece of correction glass.
I mean, I *come* here from (old FD) Canon. I wouldn't butcher an FA* to try and expect good results from any converter, glass or not. Canon 85s are *good,* and even if you don't need the 1.2 speed on that, there you are. Butchering a hard-to-get Pentax lens to kludge it on a Canon body is.. Probably not worthwhile.
