Hi, I got a while ago a lovely Zeiss Jena Biotar lens with Praktina mount, I was hoping to use it on my 6D canon, but do not see adapters out there. Does anyone know where can I get a cheap adapter? Max 10 dollars....

Not common - but see http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PRAKTINA-lens-to-Canon-EOS-EF-mount-adapter-/251591216930 . . . although it has an extra zero in the price Crying or Very sad

Good luck in your search for a cheap one!

Even you get an adapter, you may need some modification on the lens to get infinity(the mirror will hit the lens).

Thanks Scsambrook. I am afraid I won't find such as I look for.

Oh you have tried this combo? Or all the Jenna 58/2 hit the mirror of 6D? I think you must be right, I tried hand holding it and it hit the mirror. But even like that the pics looked lovely. Razz I think I will sell this lens.
