FotodioX M42-EOS-V1 Reviews

Great for my Needs

By Alex

Rated 4 out of 5 stars purely because it's nothing special. It's a thin adapter so there's not much purchase on it, but it works perfectly fine for my needs. I used it on an EF to Sony E adapter, so I didn't have to worry about mirror interruption like the other reviewer mentioned. It's an adapter, not really a way for it to be 5 stars. It works, FotodioX has solid stuff, would buy again.

works as advertised

This quite cheap adapter allows using old Soviet-made lenses (some of them aren't bad at all) on Canon bodies. You have to be familiar with manual focusing and manual exposure, however.
