Thanks Kelvin. Was looking at non-Japanese and non- Russian M42 lenses. I have tried the Jolos "ridged" adaptor which keeps the diaphragm closed when the...
Jonas I think I remember seeing FD-EOS adapters as having an optical element in them. Having a glass surface placed on the lens mount flange - close to the...
hi jay how have you been? Been a while since we corresponded. Yes, Lester bought my MSX1000! I still have the hard carry-case kept aside for him, but i think...

Hi Jay, Why search for European glass when the Takumars are so prevalent and cheap? No other manufacturer had such a complete and superb line of lenses at that...

Wonder if anyone has pictures of what an SMC 50/1.4 Tak can capture on a 300D? And the Nikon D70 mount doesn't gel as well with the M42 mount as the Canon EF...
hello zhang! how are you? Happy new year to you too! The EOS is very interesting. Besides M42 lenses, I have had great fun trying nikon and leica-R lenses on...
Happy New Year to everyone on the list! I have a comparison question that I would like to throw out for y'all to chew on... Has anyone compared the Fujinon...
i've been reading the posts about using the 300d with m42 glass, and at the price of the 300d, it's (marginally) justifiable for 3rd-world types like me who...
I am currently using my 50 1.4 and 55 1.8 taks on my Canon Digital Rebel/300D. Also several non-tak M42 lenses, and Nikkor F lenses via adapters. I get very...
Chris You got the points across exactly! Manual focusing through the 300d is just like focusing through an old Contax D. Not only focusing is similar, the...

I have a few which I'm planning to put online. In a word, they're marvelous. Nikon bodies don't make adaptation so easily. An optical adapter is needed to...
Bob I have a few Takumars already covering the 35 to 200 mm range. I prefer the "European" look. Takumars tend to render things "flat"- I can't describe it...

Doug My slr systems had been Nikon F and M42 screw mount before I got the 300D. I never had any other equipment which utilised other mounts than Nikon or M42,...
Doug, the reality is... that some of the canon lenses simply suck. My favourite zoom is now my US$100 Sigma 18-50 DC on my EOS 10D. My Canon EF28-105 and...
re: D70... YES. The back-focus on the nikon is longer, so a correction element needs to be incorporated into the adapter (i.e. more glass). And it won't mount ...
