Wow! This thread is getting me pretty excited about using an SMC Takumar 50/1.4 that I just got with a Pentax ES. I\'ve used the Super Tak 50/1.4 on a Pentax Spotmatic, but would like to try using the SMC Tak 50/1.4 on my 7D. What adapter would any of you recommend?

I have the non chipped fotodiox pro m42 to EOS adapter, and it works perfectly. It pays to get brass, they don\'t get stuck and they last. It was less than $20.
Any issues with focusing at infinity?
With no modification except the adapter on a 5D2, it gets to about 12 meters before it touches (didn\'t notice this until you asked). I never really focused it that far in real world use, and if I ever needed to focus to infinity, i would use live view. I prefer to use hyperfocal distance rather than infinity, so not really an issue for me at all.
