Canon EOS and manual focus lenses

Olivier · Expire: 2015-08-06

Not at present, but I keep in mind equiping each of my best MF lenses with its own EMF adapter so that my Dslr record the exifs.
I already did that with my Jupiter-6 2.8/180. Smile

Do you mind you access to its whole items listing with all the kind of adapters ?

Gary, I have installed Magic Lantern and it works.

I tried focus peaking at first and it works well.

Maybe we should create a new topic about ML in the Dslr section. Smile

Hi all! First post and all. (please be gentle Smile

)

Bought a new camera a couple of weeks ago, an Eos-M kit.
It's really a nice little camera, with the new firmware. (That's the 2.02, haven't tried ML yet)
Well anyway, I recalled using a SLR many many years ago, looked around the house and found it,
an old Chinon (Pentax K) with a few lenses, most crap, but one that I would like to try on the small mirrorless Eos-M,
and that's the Tamron SP 60-300.
Now I'm all new to this, have only been using pocket cameras for the last 20 years, like any tourist Smile

Is it possible to use this Lens on the EOS-m?
I guess I need two things :
First :
AF-confirm-Tamron-Adaptall-2-Lens-Canon-EOS Click here to see on Ebay
And also:
Mount-Adapter-Ring-For-EF-lens-to-EOS-M Click here to see on Ebay

Will this work?
Any suggestions or advice is highly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance /M

Hello Max and welcome onboard. Very Happy

Don't be afraid, if you're Wise and polite, nobody will bark against you. Wink

Don't forget to read the forum rules.

Because it is your first post here, your links don't work (antispam measures).
Now it should work fine.
It's the same for your first images posted.

About your question, there is a more direct way to adapt your Tamron Adaptall-2 60-300mm to your Eos M.
Here are some Adpatall-2 to Eos-M adapters :

I don't think that Magic Lantern is available for the Eos-M system.
http://www.magiclantern.fm/downloads.html

About AF-confirm, I use it on my adapters. It's a good help for approaching "right in focus point". I then adjust relying on my eyes.
Changing the viewfinder screen helps.
But again is it possible with the Eos-M ?

An af confirm adaptall-2 to EF adapter mounted on a EF to Eos-M can be the better solution.
Can you make focus using the rear lcd screen with magnifying ?

Cheers

Hello guys, I guess I am going to join these EOS MF threads pretty often now cause I just bought a 6D my first FF digital camera and it's going to be my main camera! Can't wait to try my Cosina 55/1.2 and smc takumar 50/1.4 on it.

But first, can anyone point me to any great places that has a list of compatible M42 lenses for the 6D that won't hit the mirror? It's kind of confusing especially when I'm new to this system.

Secondly, are there any M42-EF adapters that won't allow infinity focus but would make adapting all M42 lenses safe? That would be a lot more convenient instead of constantly checking for compatibility online. Something like the M42-PK mount adapters, there's one that fits inside the PK mount but requires a key to open, and there's the other one like this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/M42-to-Pentax-PK-Mount-Lens-Adapter-/151049750799?pt=UK_Photography_CameraLenses_Lens_caps_hoods_adaptors_ET&hash=item232b44490f

that does not support infinity but doesn't require key to remove so it's a lot easier to handle and not have to risk not being able to remove it. It doesn't allow infinity but the distance is miniscule I find the results of stopping down a bit more when doing infinity photography such as landscapes acceptable.

So would like to know if there's a similar adapter for M42-EF that plays on the safe side and won't risk harming the camera cause it's a lot more expensive than the lens usually.

Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!

All informations needed are there.
http://forum.mflenses.com/5d-mark-ii-lens-compatibility-chart-t15761.html

I'm quite sure that those which don't hit the Mirror of the 5D MkII will not on the 6D.

If you want to use those which hit the Mirror, you can use Liveview and keep infinity, or a macro extension ring but loose infinity.
