adapters for both EOS film and digital?

Would like to know who uses adapters on both film and digital EOS cameras, and if the
same adapter works for both. Focus confirm would be nice, but not a must-have. Thanks
in advance for any advice given.

I've just tried a T2 mount and Soligor to EOS on my film EOS600 ( 630 ) and get no focus confirm at all. The irritating beep goes off constantly except on 'A' but the viewfinder light doesn't show in any setting.

Lloyd, other than no focus confirm, how's the focus with the adapter, and what brand? I don't use
the beeping function, would drive me nuts (which would be a short drive Wink

).

Ah, I haven't put a film through it yet. But the adapter is one of these -

which is a good fit and well made.

I think that even with the standard focusing scree I should be able to focus OK, it's a very bright screen.

I'll throw a film in it tomorrow.
