Does anyone know of a Pentacon 6/Kiev 60 to EOS with focus confirmation?

You need to purchase following combo

P6->Nikon or M42 adapter

EOS->M42 or Nikon focus confirmed adapter

I never seen focus confirmed adapter directly to EOS

OR buy a P6->EOS adapter + adapter chip only and glue by your self (I not recommended)

I think I will just go with P6 to EOS. I really don't want a lot of adapters stacked.
Thanks!

You will don't have any problem with stacked adapters

I already bought a P6 to EOS for $16USD, I might buy P6 to M42 and M42 to EOS focus confirm for use at my sons soccer games (or futbol as called elsewhere). That may be easier with action

I was worried that to many adapters would lose infinity and may be a weak point for breakage.

Shad, I'm doing the same as you. I have a P6/EOS adapter like yours and missed the AF chip, and a certain nice gentleman in Budapest has kindly found me a P6/M42 adapter which is on its way. I don't think there will be any problems using two adapters, and I'll be able to use P6 lenses on the Spotmatics too! Smile

I have never used one with the focus confirm. But I thought it would make things easier with kids sports. I wont be using the photos as poster shots or anything, just wanted to be faster on the draw if you know what I mean Wink
