PK adapter help

[ryanbarlin]

Hey guys,

Recently I bought a PK to EOS adapter from my favourite seller.
It was super loose, and he recommended widening the flanges.
It broke. I'm not sure if this is usual or not.

In the year 2014, do we have good reliable adapters or is it still somewhat risky?
From googling around, seems many folks still have this problem.

The market of PK to EOS adapter is small and most people won't pay more money for a good adapter.

Here is one made by Kipon
Click here to see on Ebay

There is an more expensive RAYQUAL adapter but you won't be buying it unless you can buy it from Japan

P.S. Make sure you post similarly question here next time http://forum.mflenses.com/adapters-and-other-accessories-f10.html .

Ah! My bad.

Thanks for the link though - for some reason I couldn't find the adapter when I searched (I found an older topic mentioning that exact adapter).

I've bought it, it'll probably be next year before I get it though.

Wasn't sure whether to start a new topic just for this, but I got my Kipon adapter.

The Kipon works really well, thanks a heap!
The other cheaper adapter, my dad had to modify quite a bit to get it working (i'm not sure what he did exactly).

Glad to know it works well.
