I was under the impression that a Chinese adapter would exist for everything. However, today I searched for T4 and TX adapters on ebay and, to my surprise, got just a handful of positive hits. Those few positive results were actually the original decades-old T4 and TX adapters. No new Chinese adapters at all.
Am I not looking in the right place? Or is there in fact barely any availability of these adapters? |

I have a couple T4 lenses for sale on ebay, without adapter. One potential buyer asked me where to buy an adapter for Canon EOS and I suggested he checked on ebay itself (assuming there would be availability from the usual suppliers in China). But I couldn't find any myself... |

I had the same problem selling the T4 Soligor 28/2.8, it eventually sold without the adapter. You see T4 adapters regularly on the Soligor 90-230 (I think that's the focal range) lenses. I can't say I have seen an eos mount, I have seen Nikon,M42 and Minolta on a regular basis.

Never have been EOS T4/TX adapters. That line was gone before the EOS mount was introduced.
And true, no Chinese T4/TX adapters are available that I know of. I have looked for them, in particular for a PK, which are very scarce.
