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

Oh, yes, I see.  I have some of them too like that.  My mistake.  I have 
been having great fun trying all different sorts of lenses on my 20D.  You 
were right about the Carl Zeiss 50mm f/1.7 being a very sharp lens. The 
bokeh is not too bad either.  The 58mm Rokkor is a fun lens too to use. 
Very very smooth bokeh.  Great portrait lens.  The other lens that is very 
nice is the Pentax 55mm f/1.8.  Extreme sharpness and nice bokeh.  The 
Topcon 58mm f/1.8 is another very sharp lens as well from what I have seen.
