Question: DSLR that takes Canon FD lenses!?
Anyone know of digital SLR that accepts Canon FD series lenses!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
As mentioned above, Canon abandoned the FD-mount in favor of the new electronic EOS mount sometime in the late 80s/early 90s!. There are adapters to convert FD to other mounts!. However, the FD-mount has a flange focal distance that is smaller than current mounts!. With the exception of the Four-Thirds system, few cameras can focus FD lenses to infinity as a result!. There are adapters with corrective lenses but they're most likely manufactured with little emphasis on quality!. Unless you have quality glass that you absolutely can't part with, it won't be worth the money and effort!.

Here are some examples of the adapters:

Sorry, nothing like this is available and most likely never will be, nor adapters made either!.

However, if you had Nikon stuff, yes!.!. There are a # of cameras that will take older Nikon lenses and even meter couple with the older manual lenses too!.!.!.

i have a canon 40d, and a canon xt, and teh adapter works on both!.!.!. ive got 4 fd lenses - which are nice!.!.!. im sure that there are drawbacks to it, but so far ive not found any that are horribly bad Www@QuestionHome@Com

Unfortunately there isn't one!. Canon changed their lens mount with the introduction of their auto focus cameras back in the late 1980's!.

There is an adapter made so you can use the FD mount lenses on the Canon EOS mount DSLR cameras!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
