Try something like a 50/2 Pentax lens, you'll like it.

The only adapter I have is (sadly) unsuitable. It's one I had Peter Tan make up for me to take the old ST-7 (that I still have here somewhere). It's only 21.5mm and it has the wrong thread (42..75). So Gary, if that offer of yours holds, I'd be delighted to take it up. Let me know the $$. I'll sort it out with you in 3 weeks when I get back from my wanderings in Europe.
