Customer Reviews


FD (Manual Focus) Lens to Canon EOS (Auto Focus) Body Mount Adapter from 47th St. Camera
I ordered both adapters from Amazon.Com and recieved the CZFDEOSA from Adorama and a product marked Kipon FD-EOS from 47th ST Camera. The Kipon product is excellent. Unfortunately it can easily be mis-used for three reasons. 1) It is high precision and fits the EOS body very tight. It must be turned until it "clicks", which takes more than the expected force. 2) The adapter lens mount allows the adapter lens to be easily removed, and might be positioned out of range of focus. There is no lens stop, which is good since I can adjust to match the exact point of infinity on the lens. The position seems to be the same for all my FD lenses. 3) The product would benefit from some instructions even though they are obvious to many users. I made a number of disappointing shots until I got everything set right. I currently leave the adapter on my 50D body and I only use FD lenses.
I find I must check that the FD lens aperature ring is not set on A (automatic). We will be setting the aperature manually. The EOS camera is set to AE so only the shutter speed changes with metering. We manually adjust the aperature and ISO settings to get the depth of field and shutter speed we want.
My most common error is that the lens aperature is not stopping down because the adapter is not in the "Lock" position. All is well if I start mounting the lens with the adapter set to "Open", set the lens to manual wide open, mount the lens on the camera and then set the adapter to "Lock" position. I can check the aperature ring function by stopping down and looking into the view finder (not the LCD) to see the difference. No difference means the adapter is "open" and must be moved to "Lock". If the FD lens is still in automatic then the manual aperature ring might not move until I take the lens back off the adapter.
My opinion is that the glass in the adapter does not reduce the sharpness of the FD lenses I have. I got some great shots of the craters on the full moon with my FD 500mm which was previously very difficult to use on the Canon A1. I now set the ISO to 3200 on my 50D and get 1/1000th shutter speed at f8. No detectable shake. Same technique works using the Closeup Macro. I can see the pores on my skin. Creative photography is more than point and shoot for me. Automatic focus and image stabilization are luxuries I can trade off for more FD lenses I didn't used to consider.

I bought this adapter to take advantage of the great FD lens buys on Ebay. It works. However, I find it much more user demanding than EF and EF-S lens. It's a nice toy and good gear to go with your EOS camera if you have FD lenses or are thinking about getting any. Bottom line, it works.
