I've got a beautiful FD 55 1.2 (the "new FD" mount) that I'd love to use on my 40D. Adapters are not an option because you either lose infinity focus (with the adapter rings sans elements) or lose a stop (with the adapters with elements); not to mention the optical quality sucks. I did a little research and came across this guy that did the conversion himself. Has anyone attempted this kind of surgery with their FD glass? Any advice?
(Would anyone want to donate a junky, broken EF lens?)
Seth, I've never done the FD conversion (although I'm currently working on a Minolta conversion) but if you search 'FD to EOS' on the Alternative Gear Forum, you'll come up with good info...if I remember correctly, I think there's a step by step procedure too (but I'm not certain). Anyway, I hope that helps and GOOD LUCK!
