I've played around with my friend's Leica-R adaptor with a similar chip (and shoot my TS-E 45)... focus confirmation is nice, even if you have a good screen...
Well, yes and no... Canon does some tricks with exposure so some lenses need a compensation factor added to them. My Super-Tak 50 is off on a Canon, but my...

Silicon Film wasn't slow to market, it was pure vapourware. They never had a working product. There were digital backs available for the F3 and F90x, but they...
hi.... i just wondered if anyone had compared the results from, say an f2.8 Tessar with an f1.8 Pentacon? is the cheaper and LIGHTER lense as good ? Certainly...
hi, iv'e just seen advertised an adapter to use Praktica/Pentax lenses on my Minolta 7000i.... does anyone know about this ? it seems that tho old pre-set...
Hello I have this adapter since a long time. It works with aperture priority and M42 lenses stopped down. I use this adapter since a long time with my Minolta...
Dee, while the 4 element Tessar is a highly respected - deservedly so - - lens, it's pushing it's boundaries at f/2.8 and will perform better when closed down...

Does anyone know anything about this? http://www.zeiss.com/C12567A8003B58B9/Contents-Frame/4AE4CD3C0EC87F91C12571110038C241 If the link doesn't work, try this:...

I've been using Praktica cameras for 25 years now, so speaking from experience- these are all different lenses: Tessar was the cheapest "decent" lens, slow at...
I just added a FOLDER with an item discussing focal lengths for DSLR's, including some good links. I'd prefer posting these in Word, but this one is in .txt -...
M42 Takumars seem to have found a new life being mounted on digital SLR's, allowing of course for the effective focal length difference. The Zenit thread has...
The major issue is that digital sensors are quite reflective compared to film, so rear element coatings become a much larger issue with digital (this was a...
(In reply) - Thanks for the useful info. Since the 35mm-format image circle is larger than the sensor area on, for example, a Pentax DSLR, the outside of the...
... It's pretty simple. The actual sensor sites sit in the bottom of small wells on the sensor chip, so if the light isn't close to perpendicular, it will...
Well my experience is unless you are using FF DSLR or your M42 lens had a rather protruding rear element ( and very possibly high curvature + simple coating...
