Hello,
Can I use the old manual focus FD 50mm 1.4 lens on my new canon 7D? I have access to some old canon lenses, which are for an old film camera. I'm just not sure if it would damage anything on my 7D???

Thanks for your knowledge!

Mike

Buy some film, buy FD mount camera (I use my original Canon F-1 which I bought used in the mid-70s) and enjoy a different way to experience this hobby . . . I took many memorable pictures with that F-1 and that same lens.

I don“t like adapters for FD lenses - no longer infinity, or with stinking cheap tele extender lens inside.

I converted a Canon FD 50/1.4 and 1.8 to a Tilt lens on crop cameras. And a FD 28/2.8 as an better freelensing lens.

But one can convert FD lenses to EF mount too - but its some work. and not every lens will work on FF.
Converted the FD 20, 24L, 85L, 100 Macro, 300L, 400L, 500L - see my homepage.
