I don't expect that to be a major use. I started out using OM mount lenses on a 
Canon 300D with adapter, but migrated to 
using AF lenses for most shots. The adapters with focus confirmation and EXIF 
info might have helped, but came too late 
for me.

I do like the Sigma 600/8 mirror lens for real long stuff. And the chipped 
adapter has made a big difference in getting 
good exposures without a fuss. The first thing I'm likely to try is a 200 mm to 
get beyond the 150mm range of the zooms 
I've ordered. I have both versions, and hope the f5 would make a nice, small, 
light super-tele.
