>>The chromed bronze adapters seem to be more robust.<<
The chrome bronze color you see is really the existing Minolta mount. The M42 to EOS adapter is only aluminum. Very soft and pretty fragile.
>>I typically tap all the way through the minolta mount stalk and turn the setscrew thought the stalk wall, then loctite the setscrew, versus screw into the stalk wall with pressure.<<
I may eventually do that if the mount come loose from use.
>>Thread out the lens ID ring if you can due to it being bent, unscrew the filter cylinder, and maybe you can straighten it with a mallet or something, while you infinity adjust the lens. <<
I didn\'t think about that. What do I use to unscrew the filter cylinder? The rubber clamp spanner?
Right now I am right pass infinity and I have not taken the lens apart yet. I have to rest my heart a little before proceeding.;-)
