While searching for some adapters to use 120 film in 116 cameras, i found this ring that goes all the way into the Canon body, so the Minolta lens can go right up to the flange:

Anyone here seen it before or even used it?

I will order one anyway, i want those 120 film adapters as well.

I made such an Minolta SR to Canon EOS adapter two years ago. Today such adapters made of metal can be found on Ebay sometimes.

I did not make too much experiments, but for me it seems one need to modify the lens a bit, otherwide the cranks could scratch / block on the camera parts.
Probably it works without modification when the adapter rotates the lens in the mount (lens index no more on top, but probably on bottom). I used such rotation on thin extension tubes.
