Using Konica AR lenses on my Canon EOS 1000D

Unlike the screws on the camera mount (m1.7), the screws on the adapter proved to be M1.4 x 3mm - at least that matches the holes and the length of the remaining screw. Original would have been JIS cross point, but could only find recessed philips heads.

After partially disassembling the lens, I was able to free the adapter. No wonder it was wobbly, it was held together with only one of 3 screws. And, I doubt this is original, but there was a o-ring in the sandwich of parts making up the adapter. My guess is that the o-ring was added to compensate for the 2 missing screws, leaving a path for light to enter without it.

The aperture stop spring and bearing was also missing.
