Samyang 14mm - AF confirm adapter for Canon

[quote name='Spook Tooth' timestamp='1283086676' post='2304']

Thank you for going to the trouble of explaining further, Wim. I've had the lens for about a month now and though it's in the same 'as new' condition, I'm not in the same town I bought it and don't think I want to attempt to trade it in for the Nikon variant. It would be at another branch of the store I bought it from (London Camera Exchange), and I can just imagine what their general responses would be. A great big 'get lost' probably. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Rolleyes' />



Okay, so, if I try to track down this chip and adapter, or even a more expensive 'chipped adapter', are there any links that would help me identify what I need and where to best get them from? I really am still in the dark about all this, despite people's best efforts here to educate me more. Cheers. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Big Grin' />



Edit: I should add that I have searched but not really found anything that positively is what I need. And, re-reading your post, Wim, are these chipped adapters only available for Nikon and not Canon? So it's a dead end anyway if I stick with the Canon? Thanks. I'm a bit confused. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Sad' />

The reason to suggest a Nikon mount lens plus a Nikon->Canon adapter, is that the Nikon register distance of the lens mount (the lens mount to sensor distance so to speak), is longer than that of the Canon lens mount, therefore allowing for a piece of metal to be stuck in between lens and Canon lens mount and still allowing for infinity focus on a Canon body. If you'd add a mount adapter to a Canon mount lens for use on a Canon body, you'd effectively be using an extension tube, IWd, you can only focus at close distances, no longer at infinity. In short an adapter with a focus confirmation chip for a Canon mount lens is not available, as it defeats the object really.



This means your only solution now is to glue a chip to the lens mount yourself.
