Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

Hello fellow Pentaxians!
Just finished my adapted Zuiko going by RioRico's guides.
I got this lens and a nice Leitz Tiltall tripod for $20.00 from a thrift shop. Lens was so dirty I just had to submerge it in soap water and then disassemble it all..pretty complex in there, btw..lost the aperture bearing at that.
So I filed the bayonet flags mostly by the left side and also filed down the 2 protuding fins on the back side..and it bayonets pretty smooth, doesnt need to be forced..
Heres my first pic with my K30..handheld , not razor sharp, but nice color rendition for a 40 year old lens..

Welcome to the Pentax Forums!

Alas your photo did not show. The URL (Web address) you used was for your Flickr page where the image is displayed. An easy way to share is to click the "share" icon on that Flickr page and choose BBCode as the option. Be sure to choose a size appropriate for Web sharing, say no more than 1200 pixels on the long edge. Copy and paste the code directly into the message box on this site.

Until you get it figured out, the photo looks like this:

This was taken handhold, so sharpness is not the best..I did some tests after with the tripod and it was really good, amazing I would say ..

Yes, that would be the best route to use Zuikos, with the Leitax adapter. It would be nice to have a review of that!

Or you can replace the mount on the camera with an Adaptist multi-mount (makes your camera slightly less than WR)

Pentax K+ Multi-Mount (WR version) - Adaptist

It seems that Flikr is not providing a BBcode sharing option anymore..
This is a test shot with a tripod and no flash, very low light.. Aperture was set at f/2.0
