Blaalarry · 2009-10-07 22:34:32

I have a Canon 300D. I've come across a Pentax smc-Fa 100-300 lens. CAn I get an adaptor to fit one to the other?

Auto focus. Can be converted to manual.

The 100-300 isn't a stellar lens and personally I wouldn't be inclined to purchase a converter for it particularly if you lose AF and auto aperture. Perhaps save the cost towards a Sigma 70-300 DG APO or the like?
