For further >information follow this link ... > >http://www.cameraquest.com/frames/4saleReos.htm > >... and scroll about a third of the way down the page. 175 bucks with no diagrams, illustrations or detailed description of what you're getting? I'll bet he wears binoculars (so he can see the next guy coming a long way off). I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he's probably working on that. > >NOTE: The adapter is said to work only on Digital APS Format EOS >bodies, in other words NOT on the full frame EOS 5D, 1Ds and 1Ds >Mark II. I do not know why not. Allegedly it's because there's room in the Canon APS body for the aperture lever on the rear of the Pentax lens to fit inside, meaning no 'leverectomy' is required to be able to mount the lens. I don't know for sure because I don't have a Rebel, 10D/20D/30D etc to examine. I do know that it would not work on a 1DmarkII as there is no room there at all. May i ask where you obtained the info that it 'will not work on a 5D/1Ds ? Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
