Lens adapters


Does anyone know where I could find an adapter to allow the mounting of my older Konica (I think they are called K/AR) lenses on my Canon A1 body?

  Hello Ken
not sure which state you are in, I am in Minnesota and here National Camera Exchange would have them. But of course guessing you are no where near here I would suggest Samy's camera. they are out of Calafornia but will ship. they have a web site www.samys.com the people are very friendly, if they dont have it they will help you find it.
good luck!

  Very unlikely you'll ever find such an adaptor. The lens flange to film distance for the Konica mount was shorter than for the Canon F mount, so an adapting a Konica lens to a Canon body would require optical elements to maintain infinity focus, and act as a teleconver with attendant f-stop conversion. Plus Konica lenses never sold in the numbers of Pentax or Nikon, so there would be extremely little demand for such an adaptor.
