DIOPTER CORRECTION, MOUNT ADAPTER K
Diopter correction lenses M which fit the eyepiece on your camera
are available. If you find it difficult to see the viewfinder Image
clearly, choose any one of the eight Correction Lenses M of -5,
-4, -3, -2, -1, +1, +2, +3 diopters. Slide it into the eyepiece's
accessory groove. Before buying one, try it for yourself with the
lens attached to your camera.
Mount Adaptor K
If you want to use any conventional Takumar screw-mount lens
on your camera it is possible by placing an optional accessory
called the Mount Adapter K between the camera body and the
lens. However, please note the following conditions when actually
taking pictures;
• Automatic diaphragm does not work due to difference in the
coupling system.
• Stop-down metering must be made.
• Automatic aperture setting with a Pentax dedicated flash is
not workable.
