Sometimes we all become too interested in the camera body because that is where most of the gadgets are. But it is the lens that makes the picture and most often the lens has a more direct influence on the eventual image quality 'output'. If economy is a consideration, you should consider buy a less expensive camera body rather than less expensive lenses. If you buy a SLR camera with only one lens is also not logical because you might as well buy a cheaper camera with a fixed, non-interchangeable lens like a P&S. But modern lenses has such fantastic features such as high power zoom with previously unimaginable zoom range which actually makes a single-lens-do-all photographic system viable. All those messages posted on the variuos Message Boards for SLR Models are not short of interesting comment and remarks on lenses. Well, not to confuse others who are just interested in cameras, I thought there is a neccessity for a separate Message Board for those who are interested in discussion on various issues on lenses as well..

Hi Cambo:

No, there is no way you can adapt your Canon FD lenses to use them on a Pentax. The basic problem is that the Pentax body is thicker than the Canon: in order to adapt a lens to a body of another brand, the lens must come from a thicker camera than the one you are trying to put it on so that there will be room for an adapter between the camera and the lens. If the lens is forced farther forward by the thicker body, then it will not focus to infinity.

Unfortunately, the manual focus Canon bodies are among the thinnest of all SLRs, so that there is almost no other camera that you can adapt them to (and the few that exist are all older, discontinued models).

Dear RICK/LUIGI:- I read both of you are very good at these. I have bought two Pentax (K2/LX) without lenses. I am using Canon T70, T90 with 6 original lenses. Is there a way (reliable) to use the Canon optic onto the Pentax ? Does a adapter works ? and what are the compromises ? Does auto retains ?

Dear Gurus, can anyone still remember who / which was the Company that once used to publish the finding and experimental digital film back for analogue cameras ? I used to read that in the forum once, but I can't search the content from here now.

Wouldn't it be nice to send a copy to leo or Rick with the manual and create a link or page for it ? The depth of field table should be useful. I have seen this was done recently by surfers to this site.

I recently purchased a used Nikkor 60mm f2.8 Macro but the seller didn't have the owners manual. If anyone can email me a copy of one I would certainly appreciate it, David

Hi David:

I don't think you can do that. If there is an adapter available at all, I think it will have to have a glass correcting element in it to make the lens focus to infinity on the Maxxum. This degrades the image quality and also decreases the angle of view of the lens, and it's not likely to deliver satisfying results.

I am looking to use the of lens from my XE-5 to a Maxxum 7000. Is there an adaptor ring I can purchase for this purpose and if so, where can I aquire it?
