<p>Thanks Craig.<br>

Charles; Now that you brought that, I am strongly curious to know the difference it takes to use that adapter.<br /><br />I tried to understand the definition of "stop-down metering" and decided to look after that term on the internet, but I am still clueless.<br /><br />I understood: "Setting the lens to its widest aperture..." and then... I am lost. Sorry for my ignorance.</p>

<p>Please, tell me how were your results with the m42 mount.<br>

I wonder how could it be possible that camera fries?! <br>

Thank you for your response, Alan Bryant :D</p>

<p>Hello :)<br /> Must say that I keep learning so much from photo.net<br /> As soon as I get more information, I get many more doubts.<br>

<br /> Anyways, a couple of minutes ago, I came by towards this site ( http://galactinus.net/vilva/retro/eos_adapters.html ) and just knew that there is still hope for my old lenses to be used and mounted in my Canon EOS 60D. YES!</p>

<p>Just read that I need an M42 adapter to attatch one of my pentacon six's lenses to my canon EOS. But, which one to choose?<br /> I can't decide. I need to know which one is reliable. Please, let me know which one should be.<br /> I might buy it from ebay... but if one of you knows, just let me know.<br /> Thank you so much for your attention towards my thread.</p>

<p>P.S. Sorry if this thread doesn't belong to here. I didn't know where to post it.</p>

<p>Now I can see clearly. Thank you, <strong>Gerry</strong>!<br>

But how can I pull the metal prong out?</p>

<p><strong>Rob;</strong> The battery compartment is clean. No oxidation. Looks very neat.<br /> <strong>Peter; </strong>Indeed. I looked at it thoroughly and there is no spring. I see two metal pieces. One in top, and one in the bottom of the battery compartment. I guess there are called the metal prongs. (Sorry that I sound just like a novice here. Ha, ha!)<br /> By the way, is the tin foil something I can find at Home Depot or Wal Mart? Will do my best to get it.<br>

Not sure if... the tin foil is the same as aluminum foil?<br>

I am not that familiar with the names of the materials. (English is my second language)</p>

<p>p.s. Thank you once again :D This forum is awesomely useful!</p>

<p>Then spring probably broke or disappeared when I tried changing the battery. :( <br>

Yup. I went to RadioShack to buy the battery, when I bought it I put it inside but it was too loose for the battery. <br>

Just wanted to make sure if a spring was needed then. Hope there is salvation for this camera. Haven't exploited that much as I wanted (one roll only). Can't wait to play with this camera again!<br>

Thank you so much. If my dad comes up successful upon my camera's maintenance, I will let you know.<br>

<strong>I welcome any suggestions of how to elaborate a little spring for this camera.</strong></p>

<p>Hello!<br>

I have some questions.<br>

1) The frontal battery compartment... is it for the light meter?<br>

2) The main problem with my camera is that when I put the battery inside, it seems the battery slot it's too big. That's what happened when I tried to replace the battery. I tried putting the old one, but it's loose for it. What can I do? Should I put a spring inside or what? What can you suggest me?<br>

I hope I explained myself clearly :)<br>

Thank you for your attention!</p>
