I'm asking how much is costing a converter ring or something for putting a old canon lens on eos(have eos 5) cameras?
Is it worth to put old lens on eos?
can you recommend any good book for light and still life,but must have some photos?

When you say 'old' Canon lenses.. do you mean FD mount lenses ?
If so, it can be done.. There are FD to EF adapter rings for $20-40 US.
I'm pretty sure places like Adorama and B&H sell them.
Note you will have no autofocus and not all FD lenses will fit..
Read about it here..

If you just have the one FD lense, buying another lense maybe a better idea. The EF 50mm F1.8 II lense at B&H is about 70 dollars. It is currently out of stock, or I would have ordered one today.
