Hi all,

Well after some procrasination I finally followed some advice given on previous posts about modifying my lens to work with the Kenko adapter

The thing I did different is a did not chop up the mount, instead I bought a EF mount replacement part from fleabay that screwed on perfectly. It it well built and has given me no issues

As for the Kenko adapter, taking the chip out so it would work with the lens proved to be fun and games but in the end everything came together and works with not problems. Of course the information about the lens F stop and focal length is not correct but that does not bother me

As for the results I am pretty happy with them, there is a small hit to image quality but with the plethora of software out there today that small hit is more than manageable. Plus for the $100 Aus odd dollars spent who can complain.

So here are some recent examples, of course to get the correct exif data you will need to do some math, I am to lazy

Big congrats!  Great set of pictures. I too did the 55-250 "Rexley TC Special" (with the fleabay back cap).  Worked like a charm!

Enjoy your new rig!  (and thanks for posting)
