Sounds like it is a good deal. So, if you had no Canon lenses, you would

unlike what we hear about the Novoflex version?
Sounds like a winner. All I need is a digital EOS....

As best I can tell it is. That's why I am trtying to tell people it's a good deal from Fotodiox. I bought mine from them and it was shipped very quickly.
