The two issues are lens mount to film/sensor plane distance and whether the mechanical linkages on the lens will crash the mirror. The first is a technical design issue, the EOS mount would have to be the same registration distance as the FD mount. Since the egistration distance only differs by 2mm, this would not seem to be much of a problem. The other may be more complicated, and the user may have had to be willing to modify the lens. The price one pays for progress. William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
