Forums > Back > old canon FD lens
#2
There are adaptors available to accomplish this, but from what I have read, the resulting image quality leaves a lot to be desired. Apparently, the flange to focus plane distance on EOS cameras is 44mm and the distance on FD mount cameras is 42mm. This difference causes the FD lens to not be able to focus to infinity when mounted on an EOS body. A corrective lens is needed to solve this problem, but, from what I have read, the lens contained in many of these adaptors is not of very high quality.



I would do a google search for "Canon FD lens on EOS body" and read as much as possible to make the smartest decision, or maybe someone on this forum has personal experience with this subject.
