herion Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Bower FD-EOS any good? Has anyone used this FD-EF converter, or heard anything positive/negative about it? I'm looking to get some primes to play with and I'm not the mirror-shaving type. I figure I can whet my curiousity with some FD lenses. Any other suggestions are very welcome. Here's the link: Bower FD-EOS converter Thanks in advance. Oct 21, 2005 at 11:28 PM

I have no experience with this product, but judging from the rest of the products at that site, it looks like junk to me. However, for $40 or so, it might be worth a try. Oct 21, 2005 at 11:48 PM

When Canon increased the distance from the sensor to the flange in the transition from FD to EOS, it was a good longterm decision, but it really screwed the usefulness of old FD lenses. Playing with old FD lenses is kind of a doomed project. jeff Oct 22, 2005 at 12:25 AM
