Thanks Fuwen. This sounds like it's for me, a daring risk-taker (calculated risk, of course!)

I have just modified a very good Fujinon EBC lens to mount properly on my K100D... slightly damaged the filter threads due to my carelessness... but the Fujinon lens can now sit well-locked with all functions working

Very tempted to do the Contax mod

for mounting Contax-Zeiss lenses on my K100D

Here is a less risky DIY... converting Y/C mount to M42 screw mount (which can then be fitted on Pentax bodies using M42-to-K adaptors)

Successfully mod my DL body. It now can take Contax C/Y lens with infinity focusing and also original Pentax lens. My only Pentax lens 28-70 f4 AL works fine, focus infinity and AF working.
