The Mitakon [Zhongyi] Creator 35/2 with Pentax mount can damage a film camera. This is due to the absence of a groove for the stop-down indicator. Therefore, I modified the lens for use with a film camera.
I removed the mount and cut it with a drill and file (I used the M42-Pentax K adapter as a template).
This groove moves the stop-down indicator when the lens is mounted.
The modified lens worked well when tested with the Pentax Super A, despite my sloppy work.
One rhetorical question: Why couldn't Zhongyi, the manufacturer, do such a simple thing itself?
