The problem is that mirrors of each type most likely differ slightly
in 'swing-radius'....
Not that a miscalculation means disaster by default....I have had
Minolta AF camera's jam because the Russian 16mm fisheye didn't clear
the mirror, by only 1/10mm....slightly unscrewing (M42-adapter) did
the trick, without messing focus noticeably.
And not that reworking the lens to fit an 10D means it could also be
used on a full-frame camera (with all downsides of image-circle)).

I doubt Canon would give permission though....:))
