FYI, I've managed to on-sell this lens (for a 30% profit!) on the 'Bay.
Keeping my beady eyes peeled for a K mount version.

Hi Blue, they don't do an adapter but a complete mount replacement. However as they are designed for Olympus Zuiko lenses rather than any OM mount third-party lens, and as they don't even support all Olympus Zuikos, I'm not inclined to risk it. It's €65 for the replacement mount and it looks like quite a bit of surgery is involved.

Thanks everyone for your advice!
I've decided that at this early stage in my photographic hobby, meddling with lens mounts is probably a step too far, so I'm going to put it up for sale again. Really appreciate the advice though.

Hi guys!
I've been reading the forum for about three months now, and have been really enjoying the great advice and sense of community. But I've finally got a question I can't seem to find a definitive answer for, so time to emerge from the shadows!
I've just bought this Vivitar Series 1 105mm f/2.5 1:1 Macro lens on eBay, having read some of the great reviews of it and its ilk. However, as you can see from the description, it's got an Olympus mount.
I know Leitax does an OM to PK converter, but they only have instructions (and therefore 'support') for Olympus Zuiko lenses, which this obviously isn't. So the question is, does anyone have experience converting this lens - or other Vivitar Series 1 lenses with Olympus mounts - to Pentax-K?
I'm preferably looking to do this in a non-destructive way. I guess if I can't find some means to attach this to my camera, I'll sell the lens on again.
Any advice? Thanks in advance!
Tristan
