I have a large assortment of FTb lenses for my old Canon AV-1 35mm.
Is there an adapter I can buy so I can still use these lenses with my XT?
I held the lens up to my XT and shot a decent picture but unfortunately it won't mount.:evil:

There are FD-to-EF lens adapters (eBay) but the conventional wisdom is "Don't bother...unlike other adapters for other brand lenses, the FD adapters have to have an optical element that hurts image quality."
