Here is a step by step tutorial for a DIY SMT to DIL adapter:
1. Insert wires into the socket (resistor legs can be used)
2. Solder them (a little flux helps).
3. Bend the wires like this first
4. Then like this
5. Cut them
6. That's how it should look
7. Now start soldering. In order to get a nice work, apply some flux on the opamp, then put a drop of solder on the iron and quickly apply it to the leg you want to solder.
Solder only two diagonal legs first.
8. With a small screwdriver, adjust all other legs so that they fit in their right position.
9. Solder all other legs.
This is it!
The first one may take a little more time but with little practice it's no more than 5 minutes each. May be not as nice as brown dogs but works nicely.
Enjoy, Teddy
