petergarafalo Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Hey Folks! Thought I'd share this video I made about converting your Canon FD lenses to EOS using the EdMika adapter. More to come... Hope you enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwmcbroom Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Just a quick recommendation, based on experience. I can be a bit fumble-fingered at times. So I've found that it's always a good idea to do the disassembly over a towel or some sort of cloth. This prevents the little screws and any other small parts -- like the little detent ball -- from bouncing off the table and then disappearing into an alternate dimension. Questions: is this kit specific to nFD lenses? What about breechlocks? I have an old FL lens I'd like to convert to EOS mount - a 55mm f/1.2. Does Ed make kits for the old FL lenses, or might the breechlock specific kits work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't used his adapter...instead, using the lens on my A7R II with a standard Novoflex FD/FL adapter. Great lens...gives the vaunted Minolta 58/1.2 a run for the money as far as bokeh and sharpness goes (I find the best results at f/2). Here's a link to the Ed Mika page: FL mount – EDMIKA incorporated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Although you may not find this interesting, some may-- A used EF 35mm f/2 (which I believe to be the same lens except for the mount) sells on eBay not for around US$90. Conversion may cost more if you want more than macro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
