Pentax is easy, just remove the aperture lever and they bayonet right in. I've adapted a lot of K lenses to my SD15 that way...

Mike. How do you control the lens aperture after that? I found that I had to lock and jam what that lever moves inside the back of the lens. Otherwise the lens would remain wide open all the time. That's how I could then move the aperture ring.

Same as you. I just jam a piece of folded tape in it. If you do it right it stays put.
