Warren,
I have one of these adapters and it has a glass element (Hama). This
same topic came up about a year ago. Original poster stated he want
advanced features of modern body. He sure won't get them going thru an
adapter like this. It would likely yield better results using all screw
mount gear.
IMHO,
Rand E.
