hi,
i just got an m42 to EOS adapter, and am going to use my SMC 50mm 1.4 SMC
lens with my Canon, but have a question.
whereas, if you shoot the m42 with a spotmatic, you leave the lens on
"auto", turn the meter on, meter, then sut the meter off, and you are
looking thru the f 1.4 lens. but what about with this setup? am i going to
have to put the lens on "manual" and leave it there? does it hurt the lens
to be switching back and forth between he two while mounted?
thanks |

Being an M42 I think it will be manual all the way and the lens will not
mind. |

Leave it in manual as suggested, but focus wide open and then shut down for
the shot. >> Stay informed about: Canon 30Dand Pentax M42 lens question |
