Hello all,
I have a chance to score a FD 400 2.8 lens from a friend possibly. I've not seen it yet, but he says in pretty good shape.
We've not talked price yet.
First, as far as Canon bodies go, I'm still on my 5D3.
I've spent some $$ past year on some other bodies and systems....and right now saving up for maybe an R5, and possibly waiting to see what happens with the R1 if it comes out when I'm saved up and looking to drop the hammer.
So, I thought I'd understood that FD lenses either couldn't be adapted to EF cameras....at least in the past, but possibly now there are some adapters that can be used.
Can anyone with experience with FD on EOS bodies give me some input as to what your experience is, and what the better adapter(s) are to get?
Again, the Canon mirrorless system is in my future, and one thing I like about mirrorless, is resurrecting older vintage lenses on mirrorless with adapters.
At this time, my mirrorless cameras I have are my GFX100 and me Leica M10 monochrom.
I'm looking at adapters for those....but that's for other forums.
But when I look at vintage lenses, I'm looking to adapt them for as many of my camera systems as possible.
So, first questions here...adapting FD to EOS.....for my 5D3.
Next...is anyone familiar with this lens in general? What do you like/dislike about it?
What would be a reasonable price on a used FD 400 f/2.8?
Thank you in advance!!
