That e-bay listing shows precisely what flanged vs. flangeless means. Just look at the photos.
For the conversion, use the flangeless.
Roger that! I asked the guy to ship the flangeless one. I just really hope he does. Until I saw the photos I was under the impression that by flange the groves on top surface of the adaptor were meant.. just like on my Kenko adaptor...
Is 375 euros a fair price for the Rokkor (in Exc condition)? I can't exactly afford it now with the recent lens purchases I've made, but that might change. I'm toying with the idea anyway.
It is my number six and it's the Berg-and-Tal PG version, (most favorite for me).
I sold the previous five after conversion and some use, because I did not fancy them that much, unlike so many other people. The pictures have always been a bit more yellow-ish than with all other lenses I use. Although this can be avoided easily, I always found it annoying.
But somehow I find myself looking for them at ebay again and again .
At that price I could not resist.
Soon I will start a new conversion project.
It will be the first of that kind that I try on my new acquired 5Dii. I am corious if I am going to like it better, this time.
What debuggerus said.
I found mine after 6 tries. Wow, it's your sixth!
Too bad my has a bent filter ring after being dropped but it's everyhing OK apart from that.
Number 3 was the best, I kept that for a while, before I let that one go as well.
Incidentally it was the one with the full metal focus ring, which I also like most from appearance point of view (not that it would really matter).
The yellow tint was present with all of them, though. Could be removed with WB settings but as I said, it was more the case with the Rokkors than with all other lenses I owned.
I don't expect a difference now, but I try to be open minded.
just like on my Kenko adaptor...
