Review is for a non-Pentax mount

This review for the Adapter K for 6x7 Lens is based on a lens that has been modified to Nikon F, hence it not fitting on K-mount bodies.

Yes, the review was quite negative and included a photo of the adapter. The adapter had an actuator lever (wrong for the 6x7 to K adapter) as well as the lock slot in the wrong position for Pentax K, but correct for Nikon F. It also didn't look like the example photo at the top of the page.



It helps that I had been researching the 6x7 adapter a few days earlier and knew a little about it.
