I own a Cyclop 85mm/1.5 and I love it. Not all of these lenses have a protruding rear element. Mine is a normal M42 one. The bokeh is very very swirly, but it is hard to get a sharp picture. Also in the middle of the lens
it is a bit soft, even more towards the edges. The color rendering is also different from other lenses. This are examples of BW pictures:  |

I have several M42 lenses that I would like to use with my K-1. However, there is no way I can mount the M42/K adapter on the K-1. It just does not fit. I have an original Asahi Pentax version of this adapter and also bought a new one just to check if it is an adapter issue.
It seems the K-1 works with tighter tolerances that do not match with the M42 adapters.
After I removed the spring and the screw of the adapter I was able to insert it on the K-1, however. But this is not really a workable solution, because the lens is really loose
in this way.

Hi Pentaxians,
What a great forum! I discovered this forum over one year ago when I decided to buy a DSLR. I spent a lot of time looking at
reviews of camera's of all kinds of brands and eventually decided for a K5. I am still very very happy with that choice. It is
such a great camera.
In the mean time I picked up a Tamron 18-200. I also could not resist buying an old manual focus lens SMC M 50mm f1.7. It came attached
to an MX, which was a very pleasant surprise. I did not use that one yet, but I sure will.
The next lens I am looking for is a macro lens. This forum is perfect to help me making the right choice!
Greetings,
Joep
