Re: Canon FD 800mm 5.6L for $5


Exactly.

At the right price my FD gear must find new homes, then I can buy more Eos Digital or Nikon or whatever.
Speedy AF is a joy even with 5D Classic.
Adapting great old glass is fun and that is driving values higher.

That all said, getting a D700 put a stop to my Eos System buying.
D700 AF is crazy fast compared to Canon 5D.

Nikon D700 is the best built camera I\'ve ever owned, & it reminds me of the build quality of my Eos-3 film camera. Eos-3 is very cool film camera that will autofocus & image stabilize my 300mm f4L IS when its paired w/ EF 2x II Canon TC eventhough its a f8 combo. Canon 5D AF is limited to f5.6 max.

Canon charges thousands of dollars more for crazy fast autofocus found in their full frame sensor platform & weathersealing that 1Ds Mark III offers.
Canon\'s is more than double the cost that D700 gives buyers with their budget minded full frame platform.

Also, Nikon D700 plays well with the classic manual focus Nikkors, no chips to add, no adapters to use or fiddle with, I just enter the old Nikon lens\' data into the D700 camera and all the metadata is captured.
I find the D700 idiot focus light very accurate, which is handy as my eyes age.
And the light up grid lines are quite handy. I leave mine switched on most of the time.
I bought D700 instead of buying a Nikon G to Eos mount adapter, the Novoflex/Hubsand model to properly, in native mount, drive my 14-24mm 2.8 FX lens.
D700 is my first Nikon camera, now some 16 years after I bought my first Nikon lens to adapt to my 1970\'s era F-1 Canon film camera, using a genuine Canon made Nikon glass to Canon FD adapter.


I wonder why Canon got out of the lensmount adapter making business ?


I still think of D700 as a Nikon lens mount adapter.
