I think I've got just about every screw mount Pentax lens made! My

Doesn't adapting the Pentax to the Rebel mean you have no coupling?

Yup. Manual focus, manual exposure, stop-down metering.
I installed a split-prism focusing screen (looks just like a

I have a Nikon F to EOS adapter as well. All the same
