How does this work, and where is the gizmo which tells the camera what focal length lens is fitted? If the gizmo is on the adaptor, rather than the lens, how do you set it, and is it quick to do? Are the adaptors expensive? Does anyone use this technique, and if s do you have an adaptor per screw lens to speed up lens changing? It's just I was thinking of getting some screw-thread stuff now, but buying an M6 some day. I'd want an M fit standard lens then, I think, but it would be nice to know that the 35 and 90 would work on it while I saved the pennies.
