I've got a lot of k-mount style lenses & i've got my k-7, but im looking at picking up an additional camera, the T2i (mainly for its superior video options & with no word from pentax on when/if the k-7 will get said options)

anywho, i was wondering if there is a known adapter/process for using the kmount lenes on the T2i body?

There are many K-EOS adaptors on the market. The best one I am aware is made by Rayqual in Japan, also marketed by Kindai. You can however, spend as little as $20 on eBay. I have no idea which is good though since I only have the Rayqual.

and these work with out modifying the lens itself? the t2i has an EF-S lensmount.

APS-C bodies will be fine.

K-mount glass on the T2i is exactly what I plan to be doing in a few month's time. K-x+T2i with the flashes (I put just about any cheap flash on radio triggers) and K-mount glass shareable between the two, and the T2i also providing access to all that great EF-mount glass... works out to a pretty good setup in my estimation. Something I could be happy with for quite a while.

im trying to track down the proper converter/adapter. im relevantly new when it comes to adapters & such. key words i should hit should be [k-mount, eos,ef,aps-c] correct?

Just search "pk eos" will do.

Pentax K Mount Lens To Canon EOS EF 50D 500D 450D 5D II on eBay.ca (item 280468058550 end time 22-Mar-10 01:08:10 EDT)

This works wonderfully. My friend bought one just so she can use my pentax primes from time to time. Very solid and a nice tight fit!

I don't see any electrical contacts - does that mean full manual only? So does that rule out the DA lenses because they have no aperture ring?

I'm looking for a video rig and am leaning towards the Panasonic GH1...
