Frequently asked questions
Can I use this on a Canon EF DSLR?
Not directly - the FD mount is physically different from EF. Adapters exist but typically add an optical element that degrades image quality. For digital use, adapting FD lenses to mirrorless cameras (Fuji, Sony, MFT) with simple mechanical adapters works better.
