Here's one for you...I hope this has not happened to you...but...if it has, how did you get it straightened out?
I bought a Pentax 645 to K5 adapter from Rainbow imaging through Amazon...the adapter clicked onto a 645 lens, and was mounted onto the K-5.
The lens/adapter worked, got images...came time to take the lens off the adapter....dismounted easily from the adapter. When I tried to dismount the adapter from the K-5...just rotates from left to right, vice versa, but WILL NOT UNSEAT.! I have contacted Rainbow imaging (they have no phone, by the way, and they sent me literature (from Pentax) about mounting, dismounting adapters...never addressed (in 3 emails) the problem of getting the adapter off the K-5.
Any suggestions? I've got a $50 adapter holding a $1300 camera hostage.
