I still haven't found out for sure what the registration distance on the mount is, but it seems very much like the Minolta AF mount in other regards, so it might be 44.5mm, like the Minolta. In any case there do not seem to be any adaptors (they'd have to be 0.5mm thick if my above supposition is correct), but regardless of any registration length restrictions you wouldn't really be able to use Yashica AF lenses as they, like EOS, use electronic aperture control. As that wouldn't work through an adaptor, and the lens has no aperture ring, you wouldn't be able to control the lens at all. Mark.
