Re: Has anyone used m42 mount lenses on the EOS R

I first tried to stick an vintage m42 lens using a chipped M42-EF adopter on the EF-RF adapter. This caused the camera to shot on and off.
With an unchipped adapter I could get one shot - with the focus aid - so I was really excited. Except that after that shot the camera gave an error message ("cannot communicate with the lens" or something similar). After that I could not get it to work with the focus aid (and the error message would pop up every three or so shots)
Has anyone tried the the K&F or Fotodiox converters? Will the focus aid work with it?
I think it means we lose the convenience of the EXIF data - but the focus confirm / focus aid is more important to me.
