More flexure discovered!

Hey Andrew

I purchased a Canon EOS T2 Adaptor from our local shop, Photo Continental and when I fitted it, I noticed that once the bayonet flanges had fully engaged with the 40D body, I could still rotate the camera body on the T2 mount, just by a small twitch or two, CW and AC.

This is not good when the mount is auto guiding as the USB Cables and Power Cords could easily rotate the 40D body over long exposures. Just another source of potential flexure to chase down eh!

Photo Continental is an excellent photo retailer and the product was genuine Japanese product. Where do you get your EOS adapters from? Have you noticed any slop?

Cheers

Dennis
