This will most likely solve the problem. As I recall, and I'll have to hunt and see if I can find the reference, mounting an EOS lens flips a little lever in the lens mount (on the body) that tells the camera an auto lens is mounted, and the camera then expects certain signals though the contacts. When it doesn't get them, it gives the error 01 code.
Some T adapters replicate the EOS mount a bit too faithfully, and trip this lever. Not all T mounts do, however. The one that came with my Russian fish-eye works fine. So you might try a different adapter, or you might search the web and see if you can figure out where to file off part of your existing mount. I'll see if I can find the reference I had before. ===== Bob Meyer I wish I knew what I know now, when I was younger... http://www.meyerweb.net/epson __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
