FD lens on full frame camera

[girishmenon]

<p>If I used a Canon FD 50mm lens on a full frame mirrorless camera with a suitable adapter, would the field of view be exactly the same as it would be on a Canon FD body such as the AE-1 ?</p>

<p>Yes, field of view is the same on full frame mirrorless.</p>

Yes I have used most of the Canon FD lenses on my Leica M240 and they work well. Of the Canon 50 mm lenses the 50

Macro is easily the sharpest - although a bit slow. The 35 Tilt shift works quite well on my Leica as does the 15mm

fisheye. Unfortunately with many of the FD lenses the Leica reveals a few weaknesses - although the best lenses (24F2,

35F2, 85F1.2, 135 F2 etc...) hold up very well
