    If that is important to you dont buy this lens


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    My guess is there is a gap when the lens is screwed into the adapter that throws off the infinity focus

    The results i got see attached photos illustrate the typical capabilities and shortcomings of the lens


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
