Not yet but those look pretty cool. price seems quite reasonable too. Programming seems cumbersome but the fact that it is even doable at all is cool!

thanks for the link,

I just found these today myself, before seeing this thread.

This is an unknown seller, so fingers crossed, but I have 1 chip plus two chipped M42 adapters on the way.

I'll report back once I've tried them. (if they actually show up & they actually work.)

Definitely report back...that looks very interesting. I guess the trick is to get the chip set in exactly the right position on the adapter (and not slopping epoxy resin all over the place).

I noticed that happypagehk has recently raised the price of his AF-confirm Contax/EOS adapters to $85 + shipping...the ability to code the chip yourself will let you buy a less expensive adapter.
