ooh....heh...hey Hart...do we need any special adaptors to use the lens?...cos I saw that someone selling one here in CS for only Nikon and Canon mounts...

Also...any local dude/dudette happen to own a piece for our KM mount?...

You need an M42 to Minolta A mount adaptor.

Best is to order from The guy that selling the lens and he will include the adaptor for you.

I think you might end up paying like S$420 for the new one, but nice to have some fun with it.

hey hart...wanna ask you...do you get any problems of your KM 7D mirror "hitting" the rear element of the Peleng lens?...read some where that this could be a potential issue for some cams with relatively large mirrors...

with with my 7D... cost I was also worry about it at first when I see the end bit, but tested it seems to be fine.

But one thing to remember is to switch your camera into manual mode, before you mount this lens. Just preventing the motor "screw" hitting the M42 adaptor.
