I have recently aquired a couple older Exakta mount Tessars as well as an Exakta mount 90mm Sun Optic Sola and a e.Ludwig Meritar 2.9/50, and now I am in search of a good adapter I have a canon 70D that I would prefer to use them on, so does anyone have any good recommendations for which adapter to buy? Preferably budget priced, or amazon better than eBay.Perhaps someone can vouch for their set-up that is similar to mine? Thanks in advance.

Do your lenses have the "auto knob" on the side? If so I don't think there's an adapter that will give infinity focus.

I used an adapter from Ebay seller big-is and it worked OK, can't remember if it got infinity focus or just very close to infinity.

Thank you. There is no "auto knob" on these lenses they are just regular exakta mount, so I assume I will get infinity focus. Thanks for the link and your help I will go with that one.

Also, quick question, what is EMF chip and why would I want it in my adapter? Sorry, newb when it comes to exakta lenses and adapters Smile

It is an AF-confirmation chip. You can find more details on AF chip on this link http://blog.xhd.nl/?p=374 .

Ah thank you. I've always refrained from using confirmation chips on my other adapters because my anxiety makes me think it would somehow short circuit the camera. However, It would be nice to have at least 1 confirmation chip adapter for each mount for somewhat more important shooting sessions where you don't get second chances. I appreciate your help!

We have some discussion in the past and you may take a look at it.

I think the chip will rarely cause damage to the camera. However, the glue used fixing the chip may degrade over time and start to break after years of use. You may need to re-glue the chip when the glue was degraded.
