-Linus-
Linus, recently I bought an adapter from a Ukrainian seller who uses the name Grizzly. His product was quite decent looking, but the Pentax side wouldn't work on my 645D.
I returned that and bought a second adapter from another Ukrainian. This one fits both sides, but I can't seem to get the P6 side to lock on the P6 mount lens, My 180mm, Zeiss Jena Sonnar is a big, very heavy lens and I expect to use it in the studio with a tripod. I'd hate to walk away and hear the camera fall off.
I once owned a Pentacon Six and I seem to recall that when the the breech ring secured the lens there was no doubt it was firmly secured. The same thing held true when I used a Jena, 120mm with a Canon 5D - both lens and camera were secure.
I was just wondering if there was a special way of getting the mount to lock on the lens.
Thanks for your thoughts
