Were you using Manual Focus or Auto Focus? I'm just guessing, but maybe your AF was focusing on the wrong area. Jun.Roberto.Dizon.Gregorio

Not that one, the FD mount won't fit, that's the old pre AutoFocus mount (I had this on my old AE-1 before I picked up a DSLR finally this Christmas). You can get adapters for old lenses, but the FD mount is still problematic (good lens though I had 50mm glass for this camera it's just out of date). Other mounts are easier (I'm going to mount some Pentax M42 once my adapter arrives) but you don't get AF and can only use Av mode (Aperture priority since the camera can't control this) or full manual.
