> Here's what my somewhat simple scientific mind deduces from all this: If
the adapter itself increases the mount to film-plane distance even a
millimeter or so, and you hope to retain infinity focus, the adapted lens
would  have to come from a system whose FP-M (Film-Plane to Mount) distance
was greater than that of the system employing the adapter. In only that way
could the additional spacing of the adapter *not* disrupt infinity focus,
yes?

        The Canon FD lens to EOS body adapter has optics (and acts as a
1.26x teleconverter) to allow infinity focus because of that (FD flange to
film plane distance is smaller than EOS one).

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, 
but most of them pick themselves up 
and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
