Long shot - Anyone tried using FD lenses on an EOS body?

So, unless your Sigma 21-35 is really optically compromized, you should not have any problem with its combination with the Speedbooster.

When I get around to it, I intend to revisit this lens and see what I can do to improve its performance, because it's supposed to actually be pretty good.

The major drawback of the EOS M is the fact, that you cannot find the right focus setting via the display easily. A electronic viewfinder of a future EOS M would be very helpful for that.
But if you use more or less static objects/subjects using the FD lenses via EOS M might be a good way to experiment with these older lenses.

actually on the M if you install magic lantern and enable focus peaking it lets you use manual focus lenses incredibly accurately

Thanks for that tip - I was always confused if the EOS M is supported or not and if - how good it is supported. Focus peaking alone was worth it - after a sales offer for a 32 GB SD card I decided to check it (instead of visiting Photokina near my location).

Focusing is really fast and - more important - very reliable, as you stated. FD 1.4 50mm S.S.C. is now a very good and FAST lens

Thanks again and best regards - Michael

I use the EdMika adaptor on a FD 800mm lens with my 5Diii and my 60D and I am very happy with the results. I have had better luck on the full frame 5Diii, but this may be due to having more experience with the lens by the time I bought the 5Diii

Your shots are great
