While the information there may not even explain why an EF lens can not be easily adapted to MC/MD mount (there's not enough difference in the registration distances to account for the depth of the EF bayonet that protrudes behind the flange), it doesn't address modification of an MC/MD mount lens to M42 (or any other mount) at all. | |
