> K mount? That won't adapt well to Nikon F mount because it's a shorter flange distance.

The adapter I'm looking at is apparently set up to handle that transition specifically. Unless you think this looks like a waste of money?
>I don't think that's a problem. You don't need tone detail in all parts of the fire. If some of it blows out, it shouldn't ruin the shot.
Sorry, I didn't finish my thought there. Or maybe just got confused while I was writing it out. I'm concerned more with the fire itself being reasonably exposed or a bit overexposed with my subject being underexposed as a result. Is that more a situation where I play with exposure compensation until I get results that I'm happy with?
It sounds like setting to spot metering is probably going to be an important first step here, am I right? Thanks for all the help by the way. I've got 1-2 weeks to figure out how this will all work.

It uses corrective optics to preserve the focusing range. Unfortunately the corrective optics also kill image quality.

Yes. Then the fire is ignored in the exposure calculation.
I have a macro lens with a Pentax mount, it seems like a pretty good lens but I have a Nikon. Would it be worthwhile to buy something like this or should I just save and by a Nikon macro lens?
