 As rob says it's a pointless exercise even more so with the advent of mirrorless cameras I.e my Panasonic g80 will take adaptors for most classic legacy glass , I have both Nikon and m42 adaptors .once mounted to the camera a screen comes up asking me to input the lens focal length . It also has the double image thing to get perfect focus as well forget what it's called .

     Plus  if I for instance put on my vivitar 200mm f3.5 legacy lens it immediately becomes a 400mm f3.5 with 4 way I.b.i.s and it works well to ,I simply set it for infinity and it will do b.i.f nicely .

   So basically there is no need in this day and age for a digital unit for old cameras.

I also believe that adaptors are starting to appear for the latest full frame mirrorless especially Sony models
