In case you can't find an adapter, I use Pentax cameras and might be interested in purchasing the lens depending upon which one it is.

Almost a winner: they have NK to FD but no PK to FD.

No kewpie doll there either, Jim, but wow--what a treasure trove you are!.

I don't think I am going to find this adapter so I am making one.

Thanks again,

Paul

did you ever make or find the k to canon mount adapter? I think I have one if you did not come up with one, let me know and I will go digging. RJM

I actually found the one that I have and it is marked PK-EOS.If that is one you can use, let me know.. RJM

Thank you for trying, RJ. PK-EOS is plentiful; the older Canon FD is what I seek.

Thank you,

I was able to make a rough adapter using a FD body cap and a PK mount. It has no lock spring and is simply held by tension.

Thank you, Tom. I solved the problem with my little Unimat lathe.
