That was very useful information, thank you. I will return o it after doing some more background reading but especially interesting was that 1mm is the limit when it comes to feasible adapter ...

not unkind at all. a well-deserved response and gently administered. thanks for the reference - off to read it.

This should be ignored - it's just evidence that I am slow to grasp things, sometimes.

Thank you very much for replying - what you wrote was indeed very helpful. I thank you and all the other people who have taken the time to respond. As I learn more about this, I discover still ...

This is precisely why I want to do it. I know I will sometimes forget.

Thanks for this tip. I will check them out. and thanks very much for replying.

Yes, I read up some more  and now know enough to know that I didn't know what I was talking about but not enough that I now do. One thing that continues to confuse me is that when light leaves the ...

This was depressing to read. As I'm not very handy, this is probably not a route that I can follow. So It looks like I will either have to get an FD reducer or go back to Nikon (they have become ...

Until I read this thread, my intention was to start with C/Y Zeiss and canon FD lenses. My main motivation is to be able to shoot at night without having to raise ISO too high and also for the ...

Thanks for responding and apologies for not being clearer. TLDR: I should have been clearer. Below is a photo of what I described as a slimline adapter. Below that is an image of the ensemble I was ...

Thanks very much Ray. I'll buy them ready to go and pray! Not much of a diy person.

I have a plan to implement something I have seen done by others with apparent success but I have a nagging doubt and I'm hoping someone here can help me see clearly. The idea is to shoot a load of ...

Hi Ray Thank you very much for your response. I've checked the notes and it all looks good. I read some scary stories about bricking lenses and cameras after attaching these adapters. The ones I ...

Hello I am looking at buying EMF AF confirm adapters for my manual focus lenses so that the adapter can be programmed with the focal length. This will allow the focal length to be reported to the ...

Thank you very much for your response and my apologies for the lateness of mine. In the end, I went with the 80-200 anyway because the teleconverter is not essential for what I need from this lens ...

Hello I already have the A6500 paired with the new 70-350 ( a very nice lens) but I want something faster for shooting at night and with even nicer bokeh (which, from what I've seen, the 80-200 has ...

Thanks very much for this suggestion - I see how it can easily work now.

thanks very much for the response (please forgive my omitting this in my reply).

Yes I did think that but when these heavier lenses are in use they are invariably supported by the left hand. also consider that whenever we go to pick up our cameras with our lenses attached, ...

Thank you for the suggestion but I don't think this would solve my problem - what is required is an Arca Swiss type foot that attaches to the base of the adapter but is perpendicular to it (the L ...
