Is there an adapter that I can get to use my Canon FD Prime lenses? I have a great 85 F1.8 FD lens that I use alot, and I would like to use it on my D30. I have not yet found an adapter todo this, BUT I can use my Nikon FD lenses on the D30 with an adapter. Go figure.

Yes there are adapters. I found one a year ago that lets me use a 400 mm FD prime I picked up for a song. Of course everything is manual but hey I saved a few thousand on the lens.

I've looked around but the adapters are usually for the bigger lenses. I want to use my 28 and 85mm but I don't see them around.

Can you give the name and model number of your adapter?

Thanks.
