Hi All

Anybody used one of these? I fancy using some of the fine MD lenses on my K200D, also prices are very reasonable on UK ebay at the moment, but I'm unsure if there will be any loss of quality due to the glass segment. See listing:

I now have two similar MD > EOS adapters with glass elements, I'm sure the performance of the PK version wouldn't be much diffferent. My experience is very disappointing. They are unusable with lenses wide open - far too much glow. I also get a blueish circle of light in the centre in some situations, probably an internal reflection.

My advice is to save your money and buy a camera you can use the lenses on directly, like a NEX.

Thanks for the advice, I must admit I did think these could be a problem with image quality, thanks anyway I'll stick with M42 & PK. Very Happy
