Anyone using EOS - FD adapters, the one's made by Canon? What kind of results are you getting? Can you post images or direct me to a link? I'm interested in...

Hi Mark, The FD to EOS macro adapter is just a short extension tube, so I wouldn't expect it to affect the image quality. Since it's an extension tube you...
Hi Mark In that there is no glass in the macro adapter - there should be no effect on images. Have Fun ---- Ray ... [Non-text portions of this message have...
So, if I remove the levers, which I'm pretty sure can be done without permanent damage, you feel an adapter to 4/3 would be possible? As I said before, I...
Hi Mark, I use the ELEFOTO FD à EOS adapter. http://elefoto.hp.infoseek.co.jp/ENGLISH/ELEFOTO_NEWLY_DESIGNED_FD.html There are optics to retain infinity...
This is actually not true. Greater lens to film plane distance means projecting both the image and abberations as well. This is why you may well get better...

Since I have never taken it upon myself to disassemble one of my FD lenses in an attempt to change it into something else you will have to find your answer...
The original post recited a Macro use. Without considering the point of an adapter requiring a lens extension, we should remember that a Macro lens may not be...
I have measured the main aperture lever on an FD lens. For this specimen (a 135mm f/2.5, old mount), the lever protrudes about 6mm from the flange. It seems...
Ray, thanks for the info. I'm now on the look for an adapter. I can borrow a Rebel XTi to try it out on and if it works out I'll buy a Canon dslr. Mark Ray...
I hope to interrupt the interesting digital discussion with a question related to film and Canon FD ( and I'm not trying to be a smart a$$ here). I use a lot...
Yes, it is. Just replacing my 300 and 400mm f/2.8 L lenses with EOS mountable versions would cost in the range of $5000-$6000. And since the time I've spent...
Vladimir, I have shot about 10 rolls, all at 400, processed on a Fuji Frontier on Fuji paper. I use a red filter whenever the sky has some blue in it. Prints...
Vlad I have had better success shooting this film at it's rated speed. BUT if your going to scan shooting it at 320 might bear some advantages as it is easier...
If I owned these FD lenses, I would not hesitate to buy the original Canon adapter which acts as a 1.26x multiplier, even at $1,000, on e-bay J Peter From:...

You may find the clear base easier to scan than the orange base of Kodak. With that in mind, you might be better off sticking with 400 ISO. I seldom use B&W...
(Then there is also the fact that most general purpose lenses have their corrections optimized for infinity.) That is why even the 50/3.5 should be used...
Hi Ray - My reply was geared specifically to macro. Optics or no, lens extension means projecting/magnifying the image. For the same reason you experience...
Yes. If you are scanning, then XP2 Super with a working ISO of about 240 is best on my set up. If doing traditional prints, then either film with a working ISO...
Another complicating factor is the location of the FD lens mount surface itself. The lens mount surface is located a little over 2mm inside the breech lock...

I agree that it's difficult, possibly even impossible to do this conversion, and I will never butcher an FD lens myself. ... Having used the Canon FD system...
