Can you focus and expose right?

I mean EOS 300 is dysmal in both of these but 600 is 15 years older technology.
And somewhat more high-end, real prism, changeable focusing glass etc.

Get a chipped adaptor for focus confirm, otherwise just stick your lens on a dumb adaptor. Set the camera to P or A . I have a few EOS film cameras and apart from a 35-105 af zoom, I exclusively use MF lenses. My favourites are my Nikkors.

I have used my m42 lenses on Canon EOS, both film and digital. Worked fine

As others have said, chipped adaptor. But really the focusing experience on a 300 is no different to a Zenit with empty ground glass, right? Smile

Aperture Priority mode should select shutter speed automatically.

Use stop-down metering in Manual mode.

Mirror may hit some lenses lenses; typically only a problem with some 50mm and some wider lenses; longer than 50mm typically do not get hit.

Without chip fast focus screen is needed to see focus by eye with lenses faster than f/2.8

If I remember correctly,yars ago some Canons had a little squarish knob that woukld fit in a recess in the lens, confirming that it had the makers blessing. No notch, no picture. My usual measure agaist such mechanical knavery is to use a drop of superglue, but in this case it would not have helped to fix it as depressed. I cannot rrecall what I did to mount a Maksutov, maybe file a notch in the lens mount?

Camera works with standard EOS/CY adapter but I'm not sure about exposure?

as with all autofocussing devices, the groundglass is useless. Canon warns that with the manual focus screen that you have to put in, the metering will be a little bit off. Using a wide range B&W film like Ilford XP2 it does not matter much if the metering malfunctions.
