I'm not a Canon shooter, but yeah, this is a pretty cool adapter!!!

The CV BessaFlex folks seem to like it for shooting the wealth of
M42 lenses (if I got all my terminology correct there).

OTOH, whence the need for the "green light" vs. ground glass
focus confirmation?

Are we back to the discussion of 2 days ago on compromises
we'll now accept with SLR viewfinders?

To rephrase the opening quote from the page: "One of the problems
of using manual focus lenses on Canon EOS bodies is that we have
no frickin idea about what we're focusing on."  :-)
