Pentax K Mount Adaptor

The motivation for bulding this accessory was to permit the use of Pentax K mount lenses with the ST7E and a filter bar. Due to a rather stringent focus requirement, the CFW8 was not able to be incorporated into the imaging system. However having the flexibility of using a filter slider bar, permits the use of any filters with the CCD camera and the camera lens. The primary motivation for using the camera lenses is for making very widefield images. With the filter bar, any filter can be used to provide the greatest flexibility in the field. By making a new nosepiece for the filter bar receiver, the Pentax K mount lenses can be directly mounted to the filter bar.
