Adaptall
"Stephen H. Westin" wrote in message ... Wow. I thought the point of the Adaptall (and TS, T4) was to give the automation that the T mount lacked. The Adaptall lenses have no electronic components, and the EOS bodies have no mechanical ones, so the lens and body can't talk to each other. The Nikon Adaptall lenses will mount on autofocus Nikons and many will even meter with the lenses, because the mechanical connections exist. Ditto Pentax. Jim |

Adaptall
However, many EOS bodies can meter with a non-electronic lens attached -
I've used several M lenses and accessiries with Elans and the EOS 3. I'm sure they could do the same with the adaptall lenses - I just do'tn know if a double adaptor system would be worth the work. -- http://www.chapelhillnoir.com home of The Camera-ist's Manifesto The Improved Links Pages are at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/links/mlinks00.html A sample chapter from my novel "Haight-Ashbury" is at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/writ/hait/hatitl.html "Stephen H.

It is very easy indeed; Adaptall II for Pentax M42 and Pentax M42 to EOS. Just leave both adapters on the lens. Couldn't be easier, and the M42 adapter opens up so many possibilities with so many brands of screw mount M42 lenses available at very attractive prices. |
