I'v been trying out my FD to e-mount lensturbo now for like 2 weeks, and I'm kinda bummed out that only one of my three lenses works properly.
Canon FD 17mm/4
Doesn't reach infinity. Only mfd to like a meter.
= crap
Expert 28mm/2.8
Works great! Sure the corners are a bit fussy but for my style of photography it doesn't matter.
=Thumbs up!
Canon FL 50mm/1.8
Doesn't reach infinity. Mfd to 3 meters.
=Works for closeups.
So to summaries my experience with the lensturbo. None of the lenses that are supposed to work do, only the crappy knockoff lens works properly..
Ok, I'll see what I can do to help solve your problem, do you have a normal FD to E adapter? If so, do the all 3 lenses reach infinity on that in the same way or are there differences? This would be the first place I look for issues, The lenses could require infinity adjustment, before adjusting anything, it would be helpful to try the lenses on an FD film camera to confirm they reach infinity @ infinity since the FD adapter could be out too, and it wouldn't help to adjust them to the wrong spot.
You could adjust the LT to better match the other lenses, but without knowing if the lenses are truly out, any future lens purchase could have to be adjusted, then if you resell them you pass along the problem to someone else.
Like the lower shot also, bird in flight. I've been shooting a lot of birds in flight lately. I now have about 10 feeders right out my back window, and all my telephotos are primed and ready. Once you start to catch them in action, and in focus it's very addictive.
Caused me to catch up on my bird anatomy, etc.
Caught in action, the black capped chickadee is one gorgeous flying creature. In fact, you really get a completely different perspective on about any bird when the wings are really out--and caught. Something large in field, which the eye rarely catches.
"Is this the Olympus IS/L A-LIFE SIZE MACRO H.Q. CONVERTER f=13cm with the 49mm ? There seem to be a few other versions, like a B-Macro f-40mm with 55mm thread etc."

Thanks Alan. Yes, that was it on the Oly life size macro.

Silly question for you guys that shoot multiple mount glass, how do you keep track of what image is from what lens? I was switching between a Zuiko and a C/Y last night and now for the life of me I can't tell what images are from what setup since there's no EXIF data. Nor can I recall the f stop I shot at, lol. Good thing I shoot primes, so at least I can remember what foca length I was shooting at. 1/3 isn't bad.

The easiest is to only bring 2 lenses with very different FL's then its fairly easy to to tell by angle of view.
Use your camera phone and take a pick of your camera and lens, time stamp should help you sort it out later.
