M42 - EOS adapter? - 02-14-2008, 02:16 PM


Does HCE carry an M42 to EOS adapter? I have an old Super Tak 105/2.8 that I'd like to try out on my 30D.

Hoping for a cheap solution, in case I don't like the results (or the effort of shooting a manual lens on a dSLR). i see lots for sale on ebay, but reviews seem to be hit or miss with almost every seller...

TIA!

Sorry, no we don't carry any of those for the very reason you menton. Unless someone can tell me differently, we have found them to be hit or miss.

Thanks,
Mike

bought some from ebay seller 'big_is' (bought one to test, it worked, so bought enough for my super takumar collection). All but one seems to focus to infinity and they all have focus confirmation chips. That's a 20% defect rate, so probably too high for you guys to use him as a supplier :D

thanks tho...and i do spend my dollars with you guys when i can!
