With those at least you know they are made 100% to spec.
Total costs around 45EUR, tried it today it's in perfect optical condition.
However the mount is slightly damaged, it can be mounted however it needs some forcing, mount replacement not available locally and i am travelling back to Qatar in 2 days.
My best and cheapest option is getting a dedicated adapter for the lens and never unmounting it, it will act as a native RF lens.
I read mixed reviews about adapters, there are dirt cheap third party adapters. AFAIK they are basically extension tubes and so they should be all equivalent.
Is that true ? or better stick to Canon adapters?
HTH, kind regards, WIm
