Does anybody know how to adapt Exa lenses (Exa baynoet) to an EOS body?
As far as the register is concerned it should work.

Are there any adapters?

I made extensive research about Exakta adapter I only found for Olympus E-xxx at http://www.cameraquest.com.
I made home made adapter for Nikon Smile

Thanks a lot, Attila!

P.S.: You seem to work out a lot. Your biceps/tricpes are well-defined. I just realise such things, since I also did some training years ago.

Yeah, I spent more than 20 years with hard sports like full-contact kyokushinkai karate and later with body-building. 3 years ago my back is injured seriously so this is unfortunately over.We say in Hungary in every bad thing must found a small amount good one. No time for sports I have found time for photos so dear my friend we can continue training with heavy old glasses like Pentacon 500mm f/5.6 and Tair 300mm f/4.5 etc Smile

Well, sort of, but not really. I did some classes at university to see what the different martial arts are like, but I never really started.
I practise Tai Chi, though.

Many thanks to improve my English! Interesting isn't it ? We have familiar saying even if living far from each other. I found common nasty jokes with my American friends when I worked over there. I was surprised Smile I didn't found common jokes when I worked in India, but I found same words with same meaning that was also very interesting and exciting research.

OOPS! Tai Chi do you like philosophy in it or medical care or just found interesting ? What is your blood type ? "0" I don't think so , I guess "A" or "AB" .

Well, I guess it is a bit of everything.
I have realised that it helps to feel better. Especially the Qi Gung part of it helps me to calm down after a stressful day, to free my head and to get rid of all the annoying thoughts I have in mind.

And it's fun to amaze my students, you know I'm a P.E. teacher, when even bigger students than me, try to push me away, but they can't. Wink

I'm "B+". I have never heard of a connection there. Can you inform me?
What would be best for a "B+"-type?

Carsten

B+ is rare in Europe, this is the reason why I guess "A" or "AB" .Reason why I sure you are not "0", Tai Chi. For "0" need massive hard sport like full contact , this blood type came from stone age. This kind of people like predators they favourite food is meal etc. "A" comes after , they love to eat vegetables, fruits and much less meal. "B" is more modern their body process very well milk and milk products more than others. Origin is India, so your familiar with philosophy like Tai chi not surprised me. You are in good path indeed this activity was born for you. Eat a few meal and prefer others I guess this is your taste in generally. "AB" is latest one blood type of modern human,they can eat everything without problem. I have no clue about their affinity for sports , should mixed like eating habit.

Resource for this subject: http://www.dadamo.com/ I read his book and found to true based on my habit. I am "0+".

I tracked this down some time ago:
Click here to see on Ebay
However, I read somewhere that it doesn't allow infinity focus - only focus to 100m and that if you fit an Exakta mount lens that uses the outer lugs, it will foul the mirror on the EOS 5D. Whether that's accurate, I can's say as I don't have this adapter.

Edit by Attila: Please put only the item number into Ebay brackets.

I did Attila but it changed back to the big link.

I've re-edited it again.

Some of mine are, but I still grudge paying $150 for an adapter that may not even allow infinity focus...
