EOS Digital to FD adapter

[acropolite]

Some time ago I spotted an EOS to FD canon lens adapter on the web (Ebay). As I have a four FD lenses, (including 50mm F1.8 and 135mm f2.8) which have no resale value, and wanted the same F/L in EF lenses I decided to give this little gadget a try. It has an inbuilt lens to allow correct focus to infinity and a rotating sleeve to stop down or open the lens iris. Metering still works, although it is necessary to stop the lens down first. Focus is manual, as is aperture setting. I have taken a couple of preliminary shots which look good but won't really know what the performance is like until I get some decent weather. The unit cost $50 US including freight, a lot cheaper than a 50mm f1.8 lens. I will report further when I have had a chance to take some sample images.:confuse3:

If it is a genuine Canon should be OK. The others were not to good, did not do the lenses justice. The genuine Canon adapters are rare as hens teeth. But if it does an adequate job on the existing lenses for what you want thats fine.
