Hi,
Is it possible to fit EF or EF-S lens on M42 camera? Any adapter for this?
Thanks,

It is possible, but not practical for most applications. You'd need a series of adapters (cheap Canon extension tube, m60 to m58 stepdown filter adapter, m58 - m42 reverse adapter). You can't get infinity focus with such an adapter without extra glass (read teleconverter). Also the Canon EF lenses have an electronically controlled aperture. Without camera, they'll stay wide open (there is a workaround for this though). So if you're looking to use your EF lenses wide open and close up, it can be done on a M42 camera.. |
