[LRflex] Re: Kindai - EOS adapters for various lenses

Hi Douglas, I am quite interested in the M 42 adapter that you mention.  Do 
I understand you correctly that it allows full open metering with the 20D? 
I just machined an adapter for my Minolta 58mm f/1.4 Rokkor that allows 
infinity focus on my 20D.  Nice soft bokeh.
