I got tired of explaining that to people and getting no sales, so I removed the adapter from my listings. the last time I checked, Canon had no more of the lens aperture controls. while adapters could be made for EOS lenses to M bodies, it's not done because there would be no way to control the aperture, since EOS lens apertures are electronically controlled by the camera body.
