I didn't know where to put this - seems like hardware is probably the best choice.
Way back in another life on another planet in a different dimension, I had a Pentax camera with the M42 screw lens mount. I was cleaning out my office today ahead of a complete house renovation and stumbled across a camera bag I haven't seen in years. It was filled with all my film loaders, developing cans, black loading bag - the general detrius of the black and white days when I did my own film loading and developing.
To make a long story short, I found a Promaster 200mm f/3.3 manual/auto fixed length lens - in perfect, like new condition. I don't remember buying this lens as I didn't own Pentax cameras very long, but I have it. I also have a 2X tele adaptor for it.
I believe that Pentex still uses the K mount and I know there is an adaptor for the for the M42 mount to the K mount.
If any of you Pentax users are interested in this lens, I'd be willing to part with it just to get it the hell out of my house - I've got enough cameras and other assorted photography stuff to stock a small store, but it's all Oly related or to B&W and slide developing.
