FS: 9 Canon Primes :) (FD, nFD, and FL)


Not entirely true I\'m afraid. There are three types of adapters for FD to EF mount adaptation AFAIK. One uses no lens elements and does not allow for focus to infinity - it\'ll get you out there tho... I dunno exactly, maybe 5 or 10 meters? Another type uses a lens element and will achieve infinity focus. Of this second type there are several makers. Some are crap and some are so-so. The one made by Canon is supposedly excellent although, 1) I haven\'t been able to get one cheaply, and 2) I don\'t (yet!) have a camera body sporting the EF mount. The third type turns any FD lens connected to it into a close-focus (near macro) lens - again, I dunno exactly but I guess infinity = 2 or 3 meters. Here are some examples of the different types:

etc. etc. and they get cheaper and cheaper too. I sorted by most expensive first - in hopes to catch the one made by Canon. No luck this week I\'m afraid.
