Re: EOS 100D / 1200D / 1300D with vintage manual focus lenses via EOS adapter

Interesting question. I would be interested in doing the same thing. There is a thread in the 7D forum on DP Review in November 2011 on this subject. It discusses changing the focusing screen on the camera to get proper metering. No mention of intrusion of the back of the lens too far into the mirror box.

I am sorry, I am on my phone and cannot link directly to it. It came up when I did a Google search on adapting Zeiss lenses.

The adaptors are apparantly not expensive.

Hope this helps.
