Then took the mount ring off of a Pentax K1000 Body, drilled a few holes in the EOS body cap and screwed the Pentax ring on to the body cap then mounted it to my 7D haha here are some pics.    and a shot form the lens it's self  I know the pics are not that great of the lens it self but they were quick snap shots Run it's the big bad amateur

No it is only good for close ups, the rear element of the Pentax lens is to far away from the sensor to have infinity. I know I could grab an adapter for a few bucks off of feebay but I figured I would try something myself and all of the items were readily available. Run it's the big bad amateur

Jan 12, 2011 18:19 | #7 On the crop sensor camera you do not have to. On a FF sensor you do, the lever will hit the mirror. I have a 7D so no worries. Plus I used the body cap to do this so my lens sits farther away than the manufactured adapter. Run it's the big bad amateur
