Folks,
Do any of you have experience with using an adapter on you digital EOS to allow you to use Canon FD mount lenses? The adapters have a correction lens built in, and I'm wondering about the image quality.

Cheers,
Jason.

I assumed they are not good (enough) so I went straight for modification.

I had one for a while, I only took a few test shots, the results were quite acceptable, although I didn't try any astro shots.

The adapters have a correction lens and a diaphram control to allow manual only control of the aperture (no auto).

I sold mine on eBay and got more than I paid for it.
