A few sample pictures from a Canon EOS 5DII using Bronica SQ lenses with a Fotodiox adapter with AF-confirm chip.

The top two rows are converted to 90% JPEG from RAW with no other modification. The two images on the left are compressed somewhat more.

(Not all the images from the Canon lenses are well focused. They are included only to show the same scene with standard glass.)

The adapter has a ¼" female tripod mount for better balance with lighter camera bodies. The Dandelion chip is programmable for identification and focus confirm adjustment.

The Zenzanon lenses handle like any other manual focus lenses apart from the inconvenience that the aperture is tripped by the Bronica SQ lens coupling. For all apertures other than fully open, the aperture tab on the lens must therefore be operated manually during exposure.
