Do glassless Minolta Rokkor and Canon FL/FD to Canon EOS adapters exist?
If so anyone have a good source for buying?
I hear good things about the Minolta Rokkor 58/1.2 and also Canon 50/1.2.
EDIT: this guy makes them, not so cheaply:

Anyone ever use his adapter? |
To be precise, there are replacement mounts for the 58/1.2 Rokkor and also glassless adapters for Minolta SR mount (SR, MC and MD) to Canon EOS. There are at least two replacement mounts, the Leitax you linked to and Jim Buchanan's. I've got Jim's. The replacement mounts are only available for the 58/1.2, and may also work on the 58/1.4 and some 85/1.7s and 35/1.8s, as far as I know. The replacement mount allows infinity focus.
Glassless adapters exist in three version I know of:
- thick adapters, act as a 10mm extension ring, convenient to use, only useful for close-up/macro
- Rollei - EF adapters, happen to fit most SR mount lenses reasonably, act as ca 2mm extension ring, fairly convenient to use if your lens happens to fit snugly
- Minolta MC - EF adapter, handmade chinese version, no added extension, just the 0.5mm register difference between Minolta and Canon mount. Doesn't work with MD lenses, only MC and SR. Less convenient to use. I haven't seen these offered for the last few years.
I use all these for various lenses, replacement mount for 58/1.2, thick adapter for macro use, Rollei adapter for 85/1.7 (portrait) and thin MC-EF adapter for 250/5.6 and 400/5.6. The last 2 reach infinity with this adapter. |

There are adapters with removable glass as well. Some are designed for easy glass removal.
