Correct sir. >The registers are as follows: > >EOS register: 44mm >Pentax register: 45.46mm >Nikon register: 46.50mm > >So if you made a K to EOS adapter with a 1,46mm spacer, a K to Nikon >adapter would require a -1,04mm spacer, i.e. removing material somewhere... Adding 1.04mm material. The idea is to match the Pentax lens to the Nikon. To get the Pentax lens 'up' to the register distance of the Nikon, you have to add ~1mm of length to the back of the lens (or indeed the front of the Nikon body) so that the lens focusses at the right place.
