Focus Confirmation for manual focus and non-electronic lenses on Canon
As many have found out, the focus confirmation only works for manual focus
when an autofocus lens is attached to a Canon EOS camera. When using a M42 or a T-Mount adaptor, I have found that getting accurate focus is difficult on the standard focusing screen. I just noticed that a bright person came up with the "Dandelion" which is a little pcb that can be glued in on the back of the adaptor to enable focus confirmation. homepage for it: http://www.filmprocess.ru/oduvanchik/index.html The translator at http://www.altavista.com/babelfish does a pretty good job of Russian to English if you need it. More info. http://satinfo.narod.ru/en/adapter.html It seems like an excellent idea. Has anyone tried it out?
