[ATM] pentax lens to eyepiece adapter

[Joseph Johnston <usc@sover.net>]

I've exhausted all of my resources trying to find an "adapter ring" (for
lack of a better name) to attach a bayonet type Pentax camera lens to an
eyepiece. Not the screw on type of Pentax lens. Just to explain what
it'll look like when assembled, it would look and act just like a
spotting scope. The adapter has the camera body lens attachment portion
mated to a plate with a 1 1/4 inch I.D. hole on the other side.

I've tried Scopetronics, just to name one company and a bunch of other
stores. But only one guy knew exactly what I wanted. He said the adapter
used to be available many years ago, but he hadn't seen one for a long
time. My only recourse if all fails is to make one on my lathe and
milling machine. But because of the three part sectional thread with a
"stop" at the end of each thread section, making one would be a little
bit of a challenge, but due able.

I'd appreciate it if someone would recommend a company that sells this
adapter.

Joe
