I´d like to ask which FD->NEX adapter are you using? I can´t get infinity focus with KiWi adapter which is OK for other brands besides my Canon FD I have Canon FDn 85/1.2 and 24/2.8 and the same problem. Tomorow I´ll go to try Kipon adapter in local shop. They have last one new so I hope they let me try it before I´ll buy it. I need a correct adapter in next days for shooting.

Fotodiox... tried on FDn 24/2.8, 35/2 and 100/2 without any problem. Good quality/price for me.

Thank you Manuel, I read that many FD adapters are thick a bit too much (2.92 cm) and shortening about 0.6 mm to 2.86 mm fix the problem. I measured mine KiWi adapter and it´s 2.92 cm as reported in one article.

I have two Fotodiox adapters and they are 2.88 cm ... one is maybe 2.875 by my gauge is rather old

I use a cheap FOTGA adapter with a few FD lenses (24/2.8, 35/2, 50/1.4, 85/1.8 and 135/3.5) and don't have any problems with infinity focus...

I use a KIWIfotos FDn- NEX adapter which focuses just a tiny bit past infinity like it should. I also have other KIWIfotos adapters and find them to be very precise.
Here's a couple from last night out at the famed left-hand break at Raglan - Canon FD 35 F/2 for the first and FD 50 F/1.4 for the second. Apologies for any summer-envy that these engender... John
