The PentaxK seems to have 3 lobes. <br /><br />Any ideas? I'd love to use my Miranda glass on my M4/3 Oly, or a Canon body.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08465592747839803911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927621449538184186.post-65719567227356859002010-09-13T12:18:47.050+01:002010-09-13T12:18:47.050+01:00My Miranda is an old 80s 70-200mm zoom.

No IS though, so i need to mount it on a steady tripod. I used a Pentax-k to EOS adapter to mount it onto the 550D. You can pick these up for about a tenner on eBay. Just search for EOS adapter and choose the one with the right fitting. I've got M42 fittings, Pentax-k and Nikon.<br /><br />Hope this helps.<br /><br />SeanSean J Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031324466020897350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927621449538184186.post-83919024115149506352010-09-13T05:31:04.235+01:002010-09-13T05:31:04.235+01:00Sean, which Miranda do you have? and how did you m...Sean, which Miranda do you have? and how did you mate it to the EOS?
