Originally posted by Lowell Goudge I successfully swapped a minolta MD mount kiron 28mm F2 with a Flanged K mount adaptor, adjusted infinity focus and had a stopped down K mount 28mm F2.
the issue is that minolta has a shorter regester distance than pentax, and as a result, unless you can take several MM off the mount, or otherwise make an adjustment in infinity focus to compensate, you are stuck.
These are interesting DIY projects.
I keep thinking that I will send off for one of the Leitax mounts to convert some Zeiss lenses which are collecting dust. But then, it may make more economic sense just to have my wife's Contax RTS fixed.
