To make those Nikkor lens shots, I fit the three tabs of the Nikon mount into the three spaces in the Pentax mount, held tight and took those around my home using aperture priority. Three hands would have been useful. One could use construction adhesive I suppose, or chewing gum... that's it, the famous Gum Mount! I couldn't do it with the R mount, it's just enough larger to prevent it.
