I needed some input from some people in the know. I have a RE-Auto-Topcor 58mm 1.4 and 28mm 2.8 among other Topcor lenses. Does anyone know of any good adapters to Canon EoS(70D)? I was to understand that I needed to do a mount conversion, but I wanted to check if there was a good adapter out there that I could use for all my Topcor lenses. I am hesitant to use an adapter, as the 58/1.4 is in super mint condition and I do not want it to get scratched or anything, but I would also like to not have to pay for at least 2 mount conversion kits that are $60 plus. If anyone can give me some input as to how I should go about this, it would be greatly appreciated.

does anyone have any experience with this for example?

It says that it doesn't have glass element, that it gives infinity, and that it is safe for scratches. I'm thinking of getting it, but any input would be appreciated.

These adapter will not fit the topcor lens as they have more protruding parts than the other Exakta lenses. Even you have an adapter with slots in it(this one http://www.rainbowimaging.biz/shop/product.php?id_product=325) , the aperture in some of the lens will not work properly unless you trim the the protruding pins on the lens.
