FD to EOS converters

[ladybelle2k]

Hi All,

I am wondering if anyone has used any of these FD to EOS lens converters. I have found a canon FD lens but am using a digital rebel and saw that Bower makes a FD to EOS converter. Any input on using these converters would be great.

Ladybelle,

welcome to the forum!

Have a look at this thread (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=57023)!

In short ... you will lose some of the quality because the converter needs optical elements (and these are normally crappy, unless you buy the rare and rather pricy Canon one).

If you mount other manual focus lenses like M42, Nikon or medium format lenses on your Canon EOS, you won't lose any quality because the adapters are basically just empty tubes adjusting the dimensions of the mount.

Best regards,
Andy
