Hello. I have a Canon Rebel 350. I would like to know if the Canon fd wide angle lens or the Canon fd 70-210 macro lens will work with my camera if I am able to purchase the converter. Thankyou.

You'll either lose infinity focus (along with AF and auto aperture) or have to get a (generally poor quality) basically 1.25x TC effect. It just isn't worth it for the FD lenses.

I too have a 350D, I also have the A1, T90 and F-1n plus 24 FD lenses ranging from 17mm F4 to a 600mm F8 mirror.
I bought an EOS to FD adapter from E-Bay about 15 months ago and have used FD lenses on my 350D ever since, the results are excellent. I recently purchased the 55-250mm EF-s lens, it is a very sharp lens, but some of my results from FD are better.

I mostly photograph birds and for this I use either the Tokina 80-200mm F2.8 ATX or the Tokina 400mm F5.6 ATX, the result of the camera`s crop factor and the multiplying factor of the adapter results in a doubling of the focal length of all lenses I use, very useful and cheap.

take a look at this http://images4.fotopic​.net …ze=1&original=1​&nostamp=1 (external link)

It will give you some idea of what to expect from the adapter, I tend to shoot in either AV or manual and of course focusing is manual, which is in my opinion better when trying to photograph birds in trees.

best wishes

John


Don't knock it unless you have tried it!
