I have this older Chinar f2.8 28mm lens that I bought on Ebay some weeks Chinar Lens 1.jpgback. Anyway, any idea which adapter I should buy so I can use it with my upcoming GH2? I tried my M42 and FD adapters but neither fit it.

Thanks.
 
I took a look at an ended ebay auction and aslo googled Chinar and both said they were Pentax K mount. Since I don't own a Chinar lens I'm only going by the internet so hopefully an owner will chime in soon.
 
Is it even possible to adapt a K Mount lens to a GH2. I looked on ebay for k-mount to gh1 or gh2, nothing. Maybe no one makes one?
 
I see that some have a pin/screw on the side of the mount and some don't. I guess I'm feeling like going with the all solid, no moving parts, adapter like my original FD adapter from Cierco7. Is that pin more making it tight or something?

It's a release to take the adapter off the lens since it locks on. Works fine with my Rikenon P lenses. I got mine from Rainbow Imaging on eBay since they are located in the USA.
