Now you're getting me confused ;-) For an adapter (without lens elements) to work, the register distance of the body *must* be less than the register distance of the lens. EOS register: 44mm Pentax register: 45.46mm Nikon register: 46.50mm Oh God. You're right. And so was I when I posted: ------------------------------ On 5/10/05, Herb Chong, discombobulated, unleashed: > i wish i could mount the >Limiteds on the body and use them. Nikon doesn't have anything equivalent to >the 31 Limited. Pentax register: 45.46mm Nikon register: 46.50mm 1mm out! and going the wrong way. Well if I couldn't mill 1 mm off the back of a Limited, and stick a Nikon flange on, my name's not Dr Frankenstien. Anything's doable. Send 'em along to me Herb :-) -------------------------------------- It's that bloody Allingator!!!!!! I'm going to spend one year collecting all the vomit my cats eject, bag it frozen in small hessian sacks, and have it shipped over to be dropped from a Sikorski Skycrane onto Pete Alling's head. Lucas, I owe you an apology. Herb, it's still doable. 1mm would have to be removed from the back of the lens. I'll look into it properly once my grey matter has receded several hundred degrees in temperature. Now I'm going to lie down in a small dark room. Good night.
