Ivar B Posted August 15, 2018 Share #1 Posted August 15, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am sure this has been discussed before, but I can`t find it. I wanted to test out an old Russian Tair 4.5/300, which I mounted cmbining an M42 and Novoflex EOS adapter. The viewfinder is completely black. What changes to settings do I need to set for this to work? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok - so with a simple (and almost free) Chinese EOS - M42 adapter in combination with a Novoflex EOS adapter, this will not work regardless? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
