I suppose someone somewhere/sometime had to produce something like this:

Its a great idea but for the price I won't be trying it out. I will stick to manual focusing. It is interesting to see such a product on the market.

For coin imaging, I think manual focus works out better, anyway (especially when stacking).

My thoughts as well but your post has me wondering if with some reprogramming that adapter could produce stacks. A purely intellectual question as I will be sticking with manual focus and my stack-shot

FWIW, Fotodiox makes GREAT stuff. Machined to tight tolerances and some of the best conversion of the electronics within what is possible. But premium pricing.
