[LRFlex] Re: Rlens to EOS adapter

Isn't it! When people tell me how 'noisy' 1600 and 3200 are with the 20D, never mind the 1D, I always ask them if it's even worth comparing that noise with the grain of T-max 3200 or Fujicolor 1600 (with its minimal color saturation). Usually they can't argue past that.

Wow, that is pretty good for the ISO3200 setting on the 20d. Did you use the same lens setup?

Charles -

I have one of the Fotodiox adapters. The "prying open of the sawcuts" kinda worked for me, but later loosened up to the point of having the lens & camera separate on 3 occasions. The insertion of shims fixed the looseness for good.

When I talked with the guy at Fotodiox (it's kindof a one-man operation over there) he told me that the newer R lenses actually have a slightly different cam-to-flange spec than the older ones. For this reason, I'm planning to buy the Novoflex adapter (EOS/LER they call it) soon. This one has actual springs (like the mount on the camera) which will assure a good fit with any R lensmount. $210 from B&H.

Yesterday afternoon I had a gig shooting a jazz trio; I ended up using my old 135 Elmarit lenshead (bugeye version for M rangefinders) with 3 adapters - the helical focussing mount, a Viso-to-R adapter and the Fotodiox piece. It really amuses me to have 1 lens which I can use on all of my current bodies (M-2, M-6, SL's & 20D). Here's one of those:

Last night I found myself at a winebar where there just wasn't much light to be had, indoors or out. So I decided it might be a good time to try that ISO3200 setting on the 20D. Here are a few quick happy snaps with minimal adjustments:

I know there has been much on this but now I am serious about jumping in and buying the C 20d. Can someone give me Steve Gandy's address? I seem to remember he is the one that has the best adapter. Is it possible to leave the adapter on the camera if you are going to use only R lens? I can but the 20d locally but will need to order the lens adapter. I will need a quick turn around on that order for a trip to Ontario in about 10 days.
Thanks for your help.
