stuart_todd Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Hello, Excuse me if this has been asked before, I'm very new to the mid-period Canons. I know about the EOS series and LTM Rangefinders, but not the FL/FD/A series. I've seen a very nice and very cheap Canon FP body for sale and the camera appeals to me because it's all manual like my RFs. But the problem is a supply of lenses, not many second hand camera dealers here in NZ carry FL lenses, but all of them seem to be stocked to the gills with FD mount lenses... so will FD lenses fit and work properly on a Canon FP ? (FL lens mount body). Many thanks in advance, Stu :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_wintheiser Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Yes. They will work fine. BTW, Fl series lenses are plentiful on ebay and are quite inexpensive. I have a number of fl's and I don't think I paid more than US$20 for any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart_todd Posted November 3, 2004 Author Share Posted November 3, 2004 Thanks for your answer! I got a monster of a Canon 55-135mm FL lens and a Tamron 28-50mm with adapter for it today. Yes there are a lot of FL lenses on ebay, but living in New Zealand, makes the cost shipping a cheap lens from the US to here rather more pricey...

casualcollector Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Stuart, Perhaps I can add to your confusion. More than you may want to know about Canon manual focus lens series. http://www.vermontel.net/~wsalati/CasualCollector/CanonLenses.htm Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
