Wanting to use some EOS mount lenses on my STL camera, I came across this one http://www.tan14.com/Others.htm down the bottom of the page. Has anyone used this before, it should work right?
Yes I have one of these. I suspect it slightly increases the distance to the focal plane. You should be able to reach focus with most lenses, but the results might not be perfect.
Obviously you will need to control the aperture manually as well.

Thanks James,
I guess this is a question for the distributor, but the flange focal distance of canon EF lenses and Sigma SA mount lenses is 44mm (which are the 2 lenses I want to use), so this adapter should extend the lens bayonet mount this far out from the STL chip and all should work well, have you not found this to be the case?
Thanks for measuring the adapter for me James . Measurement A includes the width of the accessory mounting surface, this needs to be removed I'm sure(without going to my observatory) before the adapter is bolted on. It describes this in the bellow link.
So (using the optical focal plane as the back focus of the camera) we have:
(37.338mm) - (6.985mm - accessory mounting plate) = 30.353mm + 13.8mm = 44.153mm that seams all right to me.
