Has anybody used an adaptor to mount a Canon FD lens to a Canon EF mount? I would like my daughter to be able to use some of my old FD lenses on her EF mount camera. I understand there are two kinds, one with an optical element that adjusts the register range (42mm for FD , 44mm for EF)and one with out. The optical one is supposed to allow the lens to adjust to infinity. Are these adaptors still available? Where can you get them? How much? Do they work? Etc. Will they work on all Canon FD mount lenses?

Stumbling across this great site has brought back some great momories and made me a little sad. I was lucky to have a purchased a new "New F1" in the 1980s as an upgrade unit to accompany my AE1. IMHO it was and still is the best thoughtout manual camera system ever made, and the only 35mm SLR cameras which can be compared with the New F1 are the old Leicaflexes. When Canon finally turned their back on FD lenses and hence the F1 I moved over to Leica rangefinder cameras. Only now have I gone back to SLRs (with the lastest Leica) I'm supposed to be lucking having a bag full of Leica gear, But gee I still miss my F1. Its great to see there are folk that that have managed to hang on the their F1s an still putting them to good use. If only we could put todays great optics on them. best regards to all craig

Hi all, great resource. I bought a F-1 after many years of wanting one. It has a problem. Initially it will take photos, then it stops working, the shutter will not work, the lightmeter does work however. If I leave it for a few days it works again for a few photos then fails again, can onyone shed any light on the subject. I have changed the batteries many times. Best Regards. Mark

Re bulk film back: Leo's camera in Vancouver (604) 685 5331 had one for the F-1N about a year ago. I haven't looked in there since then. Cheers,

Sometimes my AE Powerwinder FN doesn't react when I press the button on the winder. The releasebutton on the camera still works in such a situation. Anybody seen this before? Any solutions?

many thanks everybody for replying my messages.. now we can forget about that vivitar lens, because i've found a 135mm 1:3.5 FD Lens and bought it with a brand-new FD 2-X A extender!! :)) i've just found a shop in my city who has lots of FD lenses. (the shopowner allowed me to use his 15mm FD Lens after showing him my new f-1 and it was perfect!! ). i'll use my 135mm lens and the extender as much as i can to get used to working with a tele.. by summer, i'm intending to buy my second new f-1 body (he sells one for 600$ and a brand new one for 1200$).. regards, tuna....
