Im getting a new MC/MD flange to replace the EOS/EF mount on the 7D & 60D, this way i can get Minolta MC/MD lenses mounted on my camera. Im going completely away from EF for filming, but need some advice.

What other lenses can i get on my camera when i have a MC/MD mount? I know i can get a M42 to MC/MD mount, but what other lenses? Would love to get pentax lenses on the camera too, and all other good "cheap" vintage lenses.

Appreciate if anyone could help, as most of the things i find is MC/MD to pentax mount, so its the wrong way around. Thanks all.
 
technically you should be able to adapt everything you could to EOS and maybe more. The flange depth of MC/MD is 43.5mm if I remember correctly and EOS is 44mm. Anything that has a larger flange depth than 43.5 should be able to be adapted. The question will be weather or not people have made adaptors for them.
 
I'm only aware of m42->mc/md and Exacta. The reason is that even tho the mc/md mount is shorter than EOS, the size of the mount isn't. The EOS mount is quite large, which is why you can fit so many other mounts inside it.

I love my Rokkors, but changing the flange on the 7D/60D to MC/MD isn't a good idea. You won't have access to any wide angles unless you're going to keep another EOS body around just for that.

I use my Rokkors on my GH1 instead. Works very well.
