I am in the market for a new digital camera. At present, the only camera I have is a Canon AE-1. Is there any camera bodies out there that will accept the bayonet base of my AE-1 lens? I would like to use my two lenses from my AE-1 if possible.

Genuine CANON brand FD lens adapters Canon have actually made two adapters for mounting Canon FD mount lenses on an EOS body. The first is a purely mechanical adapter (the "Lens Mount Converter FD-EOS"), and so lenses will not focus to infinity. They can, however, be used for macro work. The second adapter is designed for the following FD lenses and allows infinity focus: * FD 200mm 1.8 L * FD 200mm 2.8 RF * FD 300mm 2.8 L * FD 300mm 4 * FD 300mm 4 L * FD 400mm 2.8 L * FD 400mm 4.5 * FD 500mm 4.5 L * FD 600mm 4.5 * FD 800mm 5.6 L * FD 50-300mm 4.5 L * FD 85-300mm 4.5 * FD 150-600mm 5.6 L It contains optics and acts as a 1.26x multiplier. The Canon part number is C54-2131 and the cost 10 years ago was around $240. It was available only through Canon Professional Services. I don't think it's still available new, but it does show up occasionally on auction and used gear sites, though prices can be as high as $1000 or more! If you have a large investment in quality FD glass it might be worth looking for. In fact Canon offered it to ease the transition for professional FD users to the EOS system. I guess there aren't many professional FD users left now. 5DmkII | 24-70 f/2.8L II | Pentax 645Z | 55/2.8 SDM | 120/4 Macro | 150/2.8 IF

Mar 04, 2010 16:20 | #3 Kolor-Pikker: Thanks for the heads up. Can you stear me in the direction of a good digital camera. I want to take still images and I want to be able to take video from my motorcycle so some type of image stabilization would be necessary.

Give us your budget on what you want to spend and what you shoot and we can point you in the right direction. Ditto... however, it depeneds on what kind of camera the OP might be looking for, the PowerShot SX1 IS has both a built-in stabilizer and movie recording (high-def, even). 5DmkII | 24-70 f/2.8L II | Pentax 645Z | 55/2.8 SDM | 120/4 Macro | 150/2.8 IF
