This one is no regular ETRS topic as I'm curious about how many of you want a ETRS-EOS adapter and if there is anybody interested in buying one. I'm selling EOS and 4/3 adapters in Turkey (source is big_is, they have nice quality) and one of my ETRS owner friend wants an adapter desperately so I've thought that I can handle that with my friends studyimg doctorate in Mechanical Engineering, they have lot's of gear like 3D pointers, scanner, printers (cool stuff, CNC but working with laser:)).

My friend will send a 2X extender and a lens for us to work with. We'll try it on 5D and 40D. So let me see how many of you interested in this Smile
Me and my friend that counts 2. Use the below style and add yourself Wink

It'd be very interesting to use the old Nikkors made for the Zenza S2 and SQ systems. Those lenses are very nice and probably better than the Zenzanons (some of them are CZJ relabelled btw).

I need to spend money to own those systems and indeed I just need the flanges so if anybody can find flanges like these we can manage to produce adapters. Then we'll condider the SQ systems too, let me check for 'affordable' lenses Smile

It also depends on how much such an adapter would be.
Zenzanon lenses are some of the most affordable MedFormat lenses you can get and as such very interesting for an adaptation.
But I do not have one and if the adapter is too expensive, I will not look for a lens. Wink

I have no idea about the cost so I can't say anything for now but I'll answer this question soon. Pentacon 6 adapter is 20$ so let's say 20$ is our aim bu it looks very optimistic Very Happy Anyways just omit the price or think as it is 20$ so will you want one? I'm not trying to sell anything, just trying to figure out how many of you are interested Wink

Is SQ the S2A? I've seen just the ETRS so have no idea about others. I've openned a topic in a big Turkish forum, if I can find owners of this systems we'll examine them.

Has this died or is this a reality? I would be interested, price being right of course.

the project has borned with the request of my friend who owns a bronica etrs and some lenses but then he said that he doesn't want to be seperated from any of his lenses and as the source of the glass and mount has left the project I can't continue this one.

I've bougth some as is Minolta-MD, Canon-FD lenses, elan body and a 2X EF converter to begin my experiments. Buying any extra item costs money and I don't want to invest lot's of money right now but I can telll you that I'm just holding it for right now, haven't givven up yet Smile

When I saw this today I spoke with a good friend about it. He does machining and is going to look at my M42 to EOS adapters and my P6 to EOS and see if he can make one for Bronica. I will keep everyone posted to see what I learn.
