I use my R, FL and FD lenses on my R7. I love the look provided by the R and FL lenses. The only issue is that some R and FL lenses back side bump the aperture lever on adapters. I bought 2 adapters and cut the lever off one of them because the lenses are stop down any way and just use them stopped down. That is the beauty of the R cameras like the R7.

This is a late response. I have a good collection of FL and FD lenses and find that there is an edge given to the FD due to technology progress and coatings.I recently got a R7 which allows both FL and FD to be used with no funky glass in the adapter. I love my FL 58mm f1.2 lens it is not perfect but gives a wonderful character to the photos, especially portraits. I carry FL lenses over FD because if I need a clinically sterile sharp lens I will use the EF series. If you have a character or old time look desired then absolutely use any FL lens. They are wonderful.

I am reading these responses with great humor from the Oct 2023 perspective. Canon made a brilliant move going to the EF mount and thus pretty much made Nikon irrelevant today, a distant third . Now we see the RF mount has come but all your EF lenses back to 1987 are still 100% compatible where Nikon sticking with the F mount way beyond expiration date had to make totally obsolete nearly 70% of all F mount lenses and those 30% are marginal on the Z mount. PS, I now can use ALL my R, FL and FD lenses on my RF mount cameras giving them new life and IS through IBIS. Thank you Canon.
