Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

Hello Jakob,

I started using the Pentax made adapter around a year ago when I finally found one for sale that was not listed as "rare" and costing over 200 US.

The purpose for me was to shoot events at my church. The problems was that no flashes are allowed and my 16-45 f4.0 AF lens was being pushed to the limit and many shot were needing greater than 70mm and up to 300mm. So, as an example, a 6x7 75mm f4.5 was a perfect solution and being around 90 to 105 lpmm was meaning it to be better than the AF lens... only about 58 to 75 lpmm. As you can see, the math means more resolution from corner to corner and wide open on a 6X7 lens.

I've chosen the Pentax brand, but the made in China adapters look good to me, but I hear that some are with poor quality in the milling. There are some recently released new versions such as "She-In" version. I wish I had data on any of the non-Pentax.

I hope you find a good adapter soon... fun and useful to use!

Hello Warren,

I can see that we share a lot equipment (LX, ME Super, 6X7, dslr and many lenses) and I am curious to ask you a question about the use of the 6X7 lenses on the 35mm or DSLR system. I am looking for an adapter so which one do you have? For instance I want to use my 6X7 135mm for Macro/close-up work. I started a thread on this topic a week ago. If you like you can see it here:

That´s the most apparent idea, that I think of just now, for the use of an adapter. Maybe you have some more? (I have 6X7 lenses mm. 55/75/105/135/200
