I was looking already for some time for Trioplan 100/2.8 and finally found one for reasonable price in exakta mount with exakta to eos adapter. I'm 4/3 user so I bot another one adapter from eos to 4/3. But when I mounted it all together i found out that i don't have an infinity Sad maximum 8-10m.
Does somebody know is it 2 adapters problem or maybe it is lens itself have focus problem?

My guess EOS to Exakta adapter is trouble maker. I use many stacked adapters with Panasonic G1 or Sony NEX where is plenty of space tp make thick adapters. On EOS many adapter very thin 1-2 mm only not easy to make them to support with all lenses infinity. 4/3 - Exakta adapters are thick and no infinity problem with any lenses.

Thank you for advice. I just thought that if i got eos-exakta anyway it would be 3 times cheaper to by 4/3-eos than 4/3 -exakta. They are quite expencive Sad.

Well, there is alway an option to convert it to m42, i think.

Don't ruin lens value with DIY conversion.

No, of cause not. I don't want to destroy such a good lens. Was thinking of using of some kind of adaptation of this method http://forum.mflenses.com/announcing-easy-cheap-non-destructive-exakta-pentax-adapter-t34663,highlight,%2Bexakta.html to make it usable with my m42 adapter. If that would not work i'll better buy exakta- 4/3 adapter) there are a lot of other interesting lenses in this mount and they usually much cheaper than in m42 verion Very Happy
