With a shelf full of FD lenses myself, I spent a very long time trying to decide what digital platform would give me the most from my Canon optics. I concur with several here before me who recommend the Sony A7-II (or the R or S versions if your budget allows) as the most for your money.It's been 1 1/2 years now and I still haven't mastered all the subtleties of the camera. I'm into my 7th decade of life and my 6th in 35mm photography. I could be 5 times the legal limit for sobriety and still work my Canon FTb-n without a problem, but in the field with the Sony I often find myself relying on the "P" setting and later wishing I hadn't.
This is where I love the idea of the marriage of old with new. I can set the Sony to shutter priority, be able to tweak the exposure with an obvious exposure compensation dial if needed, and let the combination of an inexpensive Fotodiox adapter and a beautiful 50mm f 1.4 FDn lens do its magic.The electronic viewfinder and electronic focus highlighter make shooting easy no matter how poor the light. The most important part of it for me is having the control I remember from the Ftb-n with focus and depth of field.
