Germar... of course I am interested. No flame forthcoming... The truth is that the fact that such an adapter exists is a testament to just how good the M42 lenses really are.
I've known this could be done for some time, and I've seen a few auctions on eBay fetch exorbitant prices because someone showed what could be done with a ... say ... simple f/4.0 200mm on a Canon. At the same time the same lens was going for half the price when being sold without the hype. I can only shake my head. I will say that Takumars have gone up in price over the past couple/few years, and it is in part due an increase in demand which no doubt includes Canon users. I have seen somewhere else that the adapter works on current Canon DSLRs too, and I assume that is from whence the better part of the non-Pentax demand.
Tell us anything and everything. You sure have my interest piqued.
woof!
