Hmm. I adapted the lenses I did because I wanted to be able to continue using them on a high spec digital body. Both lenses are available in EOS, and although it would not be a walk in the park, I could pick up either from eBay fairly easily. I chose not to do that as I actually prefer the manual focus on these lenses, and SMC glass is first class. Using them in stop-down metering mode is not a hindrance as the 15mm will be used for landscapes and otherwise non-time critical instances, and the 85mm will be used wide open for portraiture. Both these focal lengths I have duplicated in EOS for different needs.
