Good Performer

Purchased the unit used for a reasonable price. Prior owner maintained it well as it was near mint cosmetically and fully functional. All controls function as intended and sound quality from this 20+ year old unit is very good. Only issue is that there is a single set of buttons which control both decks and it is a bit confusing sometimes to tell which deck is playing as the indicator showing that is somewhat small. Dual deck machines I have owned in the past from Yamaha and Technics had a separate set of buttons for each deck making it much easier. But overall this is a well built machine with good sound quality and low noise during operation.

Must Have Adapter if you have large EF lens Collection

As I age, the weight of my equipment becomes more of an issue. So I bought an EOS R with the 24-105 f/4 L kit and really like this combination. But I have a large investment in EF and EF-S lenses and this control ring adapter allows me to use them all on the EOS R. Have tried it with my 100-400 f/4.5-5.6 L, my 75-300 f/4-5.6 L, and my 10-22 f/3.5-4.5 all without issue. The 10-22 f/3.5-4.5 did not produce the results I wanted given the cropping on the R, but it did work. I just bought the 16-35 f/4 L and am anxious to try it on the R using this adapter. I have the adapter programmed to allow me to change the lens aperture, as I grew up using manual lenses with aperture control rings and this is second nature to me. This adapter was an excellent investment.
