Confirm Lens Adapter
What are the PROS and CONS of a Canon FD 50mm 1.4 lens on an eos 450D body?
I would really like a prime lens for my eos 450D but they're so expensive!
I have the opportunity to buy a Canon FD 50mm 1.4 lens with an adapter that will confirm AF.
Before I dive in, I was just wondering does anyone know what the pros and cons would be of buying this lens? (Apart from the price!)
i.e. would I be able to focus to infinity?
Any help would be hugely appreciated
Oh that's interesting. The FD mount focal distance is just a little shorter than the EOS one so any adapter that allows infinity focus would require additional glass elements in it which means, if you want a good adapter you'd have to pay quite a bit. Quality between adapters also apparently vary quite a bit so you should know exactly what you're buying into. So while I'm a fan of alternate glass it seems that going for FD glass is vaguely risky. Look into buying adapters for a different system, Pentax, Nikon, Olympus/OM, M42, T mount etc. They all have excellent primes. Also as an alternative as a previous poster mentioned, the EOS 50mm 1.8 is indeed quite reasonably priced used copies for for as little as 50 dollars.
EDIT: Also don't forget you don't get AF, though you probably already know that. It can be quite hard even with AF confirm to focus without a focusing screen, the ones DSLRs come with don't help much at all.
