The happypagehk adapter arrived yesterday and the adapter looks and feels like a quality product. The shipping was fast.
Unlike the previous adapter for my Contax 35-70, this adapter locks and stays locked into the mount.
It was already programmed for the max aperture and FL by Rudolph at my request. The only caveat here is that one must use f3.5 instead of f3.4. Don\'t know if this characteristic of having to match the Canon aperture nomeclature will always be an unchangeable \"quirk\" of the programmable chips, but I would prefer to see f3.4 in my EXIF.
The lens \"name\" 35-70 has been programmed in by Rudolph also unlike the Big_IS adapter.
The max aperture cannot be changed via the selection wheel or dial as is the case of Big_IS\'s adapter.
Instructions were included.
Should I get brave and attempt to \"micro-adjust\" this lens via the adapter, does anyone have a recommendation as to which FL I should use? I have several 35mm lenses so I would tend to use the 35-70 at the longer end. It seems reasonable to believe that using either 50mm or 70mm will provide enough range to benefit the other FL but I have never Micro-adjusted before so I am unfamiliar with the typical result.
I received an email from Big_IS today:
We have just completed a canon chip update. It does not only the exif self programming but also Stepping af adjustment(32 steps). Also, the olympus and sony AF adapter are updating. So we closed our ebay for a week. During
this time, we will update manual, pictures, and price. But we are still
hearing your voice, any question, please email us.

Su
I was kinda of hoping they would update Leica adapters too and offer me a free upgrade. Oh well.
