Default M37 to Pentax-K converter?

HI,

I have a lens 83 mm F/1.9 for an old Pentax camera. It is M37.
It would be nice to use this thingie on my Pentax-K kamrea.
Any converters for this?

/Roland

Note - Pentax makes a M42 to Pentax-K converter,
so a M37 to M42 converter might be OK.

M37/M42 converter exist, but very hard to find (as your 1.9/83mm) !!
M37 is for Asahiflex camera, see:

Have you a Asahiflex ?, I'm searching forowner manual.

Since the Asahiflex was rare, might this be a 42mm thread?


Nope - it is definitely a 37 mm thread.

Does anyone know the distance from mount to film plane for
the asahiflex The M42 is 45.46 according to this

Is the M37 more or less? If it is more than it would be possible to
make an adapter. But you have to know the difference.
