Hi! I found your tutorial video on the conversion which also brought me here. I enjoyed the video. Before I ask my questions, I am a novice to DSLR and photography in general, so bare with me. I have several old Minolta lenses including a MC Rokkor-X PG 50mm. I purchased a conversion mount for the fun of it to see what I could get. BUT, the mount does have the extra piece of glass in it. My questions are: I assume that extra element will decrease IQ? No?. Secondly, do you sell the conversion mount in you tutorial so that I can get rid of the mount I purchased and hopefully have better IQ? Thanx!

Edit: Whoops! I meant to post this to the other thread. Sorry about that. My own questions have been answered there.

I don't sell the mount but would be glad to help you.
