Adapters from other lenses to canon EOS

iamprof40

Several question regarding the above subject:
What is a reasonable price for Contax --->Canon adapter
Within the obvious limitations do they work as well as advertised
Any other useful information would be much appreciated
Thanks

First Iamprof40, welcome to the Digital Grin.

The very best source of information I have found is here:

Another really nice, Contax specific, article and review:

I have 2 - M42 to EOS adapters and I do use them occasionally with Pentax screwmount lenses.

"Reasonable" is a very relative term and the better adapters do cost more money, but most of the improvement is pretty subtle.

I recommend an inexpensive adapter to start with and then, if that doesn't work for you, migrate to the more expensive until you find one that works.

I use very inexpensive adapters and I haven't found a need to upgrade.
