The EOS viewfinders are pretty bright- I don't find I have a problem focusing until around f8-11, then it gets abit dim. Of course if your indoors then focusing can get dim by f5.6! Or can use in 'M' mode with manual metering (all metering seems to default to center weighted) Novoflex makes them (sold through Calumet), but I got mine through Dr Joseph Yao (on the LUG) who got it made by a craftsman in the Hong Kong area- it cost around $100 with shipping. I've used it with extremely satisfactory results! regards, Bob Keene >------------------------------ > >Date: Sat, 28 Aug 1999 21:32:10 -0700 >From: Ted Grant <tedgrant@islandnet.com> >Subject: Re: [Leica] 'R' to 'EOS' Adapter? > >>Bob: >> >>Can you tell me more about this 'R' to "EOS" adapter? >> >>0 - Does it allow EOS lenses on an 'R' or Leica lenses on an "EOS"? >>1 - Will the lenses focus to infinity? >>2 - Am I correct that the auto-diaphragm is disabled with the adaptor? >>3 - what does it cost and where can one get it?>>>>>> > >Hi David, > >Give Mark green a call at L&S in Victoria as they can get it in for you.
