I was able to pickup subject bellows for a really good deal, but now need adapters to mount a Canon 1000d on one side and M42/M39 lenses on the other. Can someone point me in the right direction as to what adapters I need to finalize this setup? See pics and thanks.

Is there a Pentax-K bayonet mount at each end of this bellows? If so, there are Pentax-K lens to EOS camera adapters for the camera end, and M42 lens to Pentax-K camera adapters for the lens end. I don't know how well these adapters work, or what limitations they have.

These people: https://www.fotodioxpro.com/lens-mo...dapters.html have a huge range of adaptors and their higher end ones come with the chip so that the Camera at least recognizes it has a lens attached.

According to a google search, the bellows connects a Asahi Pentax K Series camera to an SMC Pentax Ienses.

So...
