Cheap Canon EOS Lens Adapter - EX1

[esotericsean]

Anyone know the cheapest route to getting Canon EOS lenses to work on your EX1?

Start by removing the word "cheap" from your vocabulary and you'll do you fine.

NOt sure there's one out there just yet. But expect to pay around $5-600.

I seem to remember someone talking about a custom adaptor ring that will take Canon EOS lenses. But the focal length will change greatly. Something like a 200mm lens becoming a 1000mm lens (or something like that).

Is that what you want? Maybe for wildlife use?

Otherwise, you need to save your pennies and buy a 35mm adaptor with a vibrating or spinning ground glass and flip priszm. But even then, no one makes a way for you to adjust the apature on EOS lenses. Unlike Nikon, you can't manually adjust the f-stop. The only way to do it is to bring an EOS camera with you and use it to set the f-stop, then remove it and mount it to your 35mm adaptor. Not a great work flow.

Good call guys. I just wasn't sure if there was some magic solution that someone came up with. I know about all the expensive ones.

And no, not for wildlife, quite the opposite actually. I wanna use my 10-22mm

Guess I'll have to wait until I get my Scarlet later this year.

I thought the EX1 has a fixed lens?
