[LRflex] Re: EOS Adapters

Colin,
   
  I have a lot of EOS adapters, the only one I didn't buy was a Novaflex. I 
found that the quality was about the same, and ALL of them were made in China 
(excluding Novaflex).
   
  On the smaller lenses the adapters did loosen up, but on my 80-200 and heavy 
lenses I had to tighten them up. I don't use them very much now, I have a DMR 
and use my 1D MK II as a backup to the DMR.
   
  I would buy the adapters in the red and white box, I found them to cost the 
least and to be very good.

Not that I know of. It's apparently more common "up north" (my =20
grandfather came from Yorkshire, Bront=EB country). Some distant =20
relatives emigrated to New Zealand.

Well, I'm looking forward to it, but don't expect much from me.

I don't know if it made it into the world news, but we had our first =20
wild brown bear in the Bavarian Alps this summer. The first in a =20
hundred and something years. It had apparently come from some Italian =20=

(South Tyrolean) renaturalisation program, and strolled right over =20
the Alps to Bavaria.

Where we shot it.

OK, it was behaving "inappropriately" killing sheep, wandering into =20
towns etc. and there was a feeble effort to catch it. But still.


About those adapters, any comments on EOS adapters? I've heard of =20
Novoflex (150 EUR) and CameraQuest (175 $) Then on Ebay I see Chinese =20=

made (Skink?) adapters for 22 EUR.
