I can't seem to get this adapter to work. My non-chipped ones both M42
and Nikon work just fine, but nothing lights up in the viewfinder and the
MF in the LCD window blinks when I try to take a picture. Is there something
I've overlooked, am doing wrong? The adapter is a chipped one for Oly OM
to EOS.

yes there is a pin on the body that that digital adapter doesn't move, it is at 9:00 from memory . stick a rolled up bit of card or a match to hold it up and your baby will light up like a christmas tree. _________________ LENS LIST |

Bob, yes, the pin at 9:00 is the one controlled by the mount/dismount
button. I'm trying to visualize what you're saying. Woops, helps to be looking
at the front of the camera the right way. There's a little spring (switch) under
the mount flange that needs to be shimmed to where it is touching the flange? |

I found Carsten's thread, and used a section of toothpick to move the
switch, but it shuts down the camera when shutter is depressed. I'm feeling a little depressed myself... |
