Would be interested to know how you modified your 50mm tho!
Um .... that's incorrect .... I use a FD-EOS (EF) adapter and I can reach sharp focus at infinity .

Or are you talking about the Canon branded adapter (that''s as scarce as hen's teeth) and costs a fortune if you find one (on Ebay or in shop somewhere).
