screw mount adapter for Eos

[jay_de_fehr]

Hi. I've seen adapters for Eos cameras that will allow the use of

screw mount lenses, but I'm wondering what functionality would be

retained when using this combo. Would the autometering still

function in aperture priority mode? Any advice or experience is

welcome.

Yes, works fine. You can use manual of aperture priority metering - though in some cases a small amount of exposure compensation may need to be dialed in.

Not always correctly. Check that the meter on your EOS camera

does not suffer from any bias when you use an uncoupled lens.

By the way, I got my adapters from www.rugift.com, where the adapters actually have a ledge that stop the lens down. This does not matter for your Takumar lenses, which have a A/M switch, but it does matter the lenses (adaptall screw mounts, the new CV lenses) which lack such switches. Price is reasonable too.
