Nice video. Really shows the important things. The sound level is really low, but I can hear everything just fine once I wind up the sound volume to max. Thanks for making this clip. Very useful clip.
Thank you so much....fighting with a Fd 100-300 1:5.6 to get any difference when I changed the F stop....after watching your vid the third time I realized I was not activating by "locking: the adapter...I'm a new fan and subscriber now...
Awesome! Could not get my adapter to work until I watched this video. I did have to hold that "one-sided house" looking lever to the side and get the screw to the left of it (as you hold the lens with that on the bottom) in order to get the aperture ring on the lens to work. Thanks!
Hi! Yes I tested this adapters on many Canon DSLRs, work good! At wide open aperture lenses got higher color fringing which on my personal opinion is very useful for HD video. It called "Optical Dream Light Effect". At f/2.8 lens gets much sharper all the way to f/8. This adapter will not work with Canon mirrorless cameras though, they need different adapter.
Hey man, late reply! Turn the lens adapter to "Open", then turn the ring on the lens closest to the adapter. Then they should pull apart. He does it in the video at 6:40 ish
thanks for your video. Nice and clear. I just can't get into focus. It's kinda a trick with an optic adapter to infinity, right? Or do I missing something?
Thank You for posting this video! I recently purchased a 7D, and was shopping for lenses, when i found some older "FD" lenses. i needed the right adapter, and also needed to know how to place the adapter onto the lenses. Again… Thank you for posting, your instruction was excellent!!!
Good vid usmalibu . Does all canon dSLR work with an adapter ? I was told that entry level canon dSLR does not work with an adapter . Only middle level / semi pro camera bodies work . Is this true ? Also does the max aperture have any effect . I mean will f5.6 or f8.0 lenses work with an adapter ? My thanks from Indonesia .-
Hello, sorry for delays, here is a link www.ebay.com/itm/2nd-Generation-AF-Confirm-Canon-FD-Lens-to-Canon-EOS-EF-Adapter-Glass-Infinity-/231050783723?hash=item35cbb32beb:m:md-2NholPcATfvyCF3AHP8A
Please could anyone help me I'm looking for an adapter to use sigma 18-35mm f1.8 nikon fit that I want to use on Canon 80d but the thing is I want to have the capability to use the auto focus and also the usual face tracking mode and other types of tracking that the 80D has. I'm not sure if this adapter or other will give me that capability. Question about the chip if the adapter has it. The camera will recognise the lens while having the adapter already mounted, will the chip also allow the auto focus to be used?
Hello usmalibu What brand is the adapter that you showed on your video? where can i get it? Someone is selling me a couple of very good FD lenses and I own a Canon eos 400D.. i´ve been looking for the adapter with correctional glass with no luck so far... just rings w/o glass everywhere with awful reviews. Is it worth to buy the FD to EF adapter for these mentioned FD lenses for sale??? what do you recommend? Appreciate your help
be very careful with canon fd to canon ef/efs adapter. There is one very common and known problem that FD mount protrude inside the camera body = > when you take picture, that mirror inside has to be flipped upward which means the mirror MAY OR WILL strike the FD mount and result in a shattered mirror and may be damaged sensor since the sensor is right behind the mirror. I don't know why but the guy in this video HAS NEVER TAKEN ANY PHOTO WHEN THE FD LENS IS MOUNTED. YOU DON'T HEAR ANY SHUTTER SOUND, ONLY HEAR THE BEEPING SOUND WHICH ONLY CONFIRM EXPOSURE OR FOCUS WITHOUT FLIPPING THE MIRROR
Well there bound to be work around methods for just about any problems. But why risk it when you can attach other lens like nikon, contax/yashica, m42 to eos without losing infinite focus even with non optic adapter. Plus, any of those lens wont break your mirror
I've only heard of loosing infinite focus when using a non optic mount, which are only intended for macro photograpy. The "break your mirror" issue is an exaggeration. This will only occur if you have the wrong mount on your camera (aka, do your research before buying something). The purpose of buying FD lens is because not everyone has the money to buy a proper 35mm f2, or a 70 - 210 zoom. A couple hundred dollars might seem cheap to a successful photographer/videographer, but beginners take years to get to the point where they make enough to invest in proper glass, and yet they must make do some how. Yes there are trade offs, you loose 0.6 stop of aperture aprox, and a 1.25 crop factor on top of whatever your sensor crop factor is. In my particular case, I need fast lenses for lots of low light places where you cannot realistically place any lighting. I shoot video (and I will be uploading FD lenses tests), and I'm severely limited budget wise, I have no other option, but still must do the job. At the end of the day, nobody is arguing that FD lenses are better then proper EF lenses, but for some people it is years off, and no other option is available.
Great - thanks for this. For macro just get a glassless version. Won't focus to infinity but ideal for copying negatives & slides on a lightbox. Works the same way as in the video ;-)
Do you think that with a glassless version I don't need to buy a macro extension tube? I want to use for negatives, the setup that I was thinking of is an Canon 80D + 50mm 1.4 FD + adaptor for EF + macro extension tube...
Hie guys i have a Canon FD 50mm f1.4 SSC with an adaptor without glass. I can't make the aperture to change just like you said. At 3:08 when you turn the adapter I wanna ask what happens to the lock screw on the adapter. Because mine when I move the adaptor ring to unlock, the screw is almost touching(5mm gap) a metal latch protruding from the lens. If I remove the adapter, put the f16 on the lens and move the latch 5mm to close the aperture, it doesn't close an amount equivalent to f16.. maybe f11 only.
here is a link for right adapter www.ebay.com/itm/2nd-Generation-AF-Confirm-Canon-FD-Lens-to-Canon-EOS-EF-Adapter-Glass-Infinity-/231050783723?hash=item35cbb32beb:m:md-2NholPcATfvyCF3AHP8A
Thanks for the video. I'm using an adapter and a FD 35-105mm lens on my EOS. But when focusing I do not hear the confirmation beep like you. How do you enable that feature?
Hi there, I have an FD to EF adapter like that, but I have issues to get right exposure. Once in Manual Mode, and set the aperture ring on the lens, what do you do next? Do you set the same aperture on the camera and then adapt shutter speed and ISO?
No, in manual mode the camera should know that it isn't controlling the aperture. You set it on the lens, then you set the shutter speed and iso to get the correct exposure (hopefully your camera shows a meter for this). If your camera doesn't have a meter showing the current exposure than you can use an external lightmeter or you can guess with some experience and some rules of thumb like the sunny sixteen rule (if it's a nice sunny day you can shoot at f/16 with the iso and shutter speed inverse of each other, e.g. iso 100 and shutter speed of 1/100). You can then adjust starting from a rule like that to suit your situation. Alternatively you could use aperture priority mode, in which case the camera will pick the shutter speed (and some cameras have auto iso as well) for the correct exposure given the f-stop set on the lens. Only these two modes will meter correctly when shooting with a lens whose aperture is not being controlled by the camera on most cameras. Actually many won't even let you use the other modes in this case.
the stuff is way too expensive.Some of them are on my local market for as twice cheaper. :( Anyways how good are they comparing to their modern brothers?50mm F1.4 for example.
+Quaaartz I know this is late, but there is VERY LITTLE difference between modern lenses and the 80s FD lenses. The problem is when you use an adapter you lose some control over sharpness and light intake because it is going through 3 things now not 2 - The FD glass, the adapter glass, and the mirror in the camera. If we were to use an FD camera w/ an FD lens, and an EOS camera from today with an EF lens from today, youd see almost no difference at all. Only thing different is that our cameras have more control settings over film cameras
i have this lens and the adaptor but the focal is very tiny, i mean the part that focus is very small/tiny, how can i solve the problem or what am i doing wrongly, pls i would need a reply as soon as possible, thanks
Very helpful comment BTW : if I use a 50 mm f1.4 lens on a dSLR with a crop factor of 1,6 ; does this mean I am using a lens equivalent to 80 mm f1,4 ? Thx a lot and keep up the good work usmalibu .-
which adapter are those? I have a 60d to an fd50mm but still blur. I think my adaptor is not connecting properly. Can you help us with the information of the adapter? Thanks a lot.
Hello! Sorry for delays. That adapter is not designed to make crisp sharp images, its impossible due to correctional lens quality. What I would suggest is to use any lens you would want in Nikon, Pentax, M42, Olympus mounts. Those mounts could be adapter to Canon EOS cameras without glass and work just fantastic. Please let me know what lens you are looking for and I might help you from there.
I could send you some photos I have tried to do. I talked to my sister who also likes fotography to discuss the issue. We think that there is some light coming into the wrtong way. if might be a gap between the lens and the adaptor or all the way through the camera. We are no experts to know that. I guess, I am very sorry about this experience. Regards.

Thank you so much your amazing. I had a Vivitar lens I was trying to add to my adapter and I couldnt work out how to do it but your video was perfect thanks :)
Yes, those adapters can be in different forms. some with chip some without, some with correctional glass for normal use, some without glass for macro use only.
I could be missing something but I believe there are no EF to FD/FL mount adapter, so you can use your EF lenses on Canon FD mount film cameras. It's the other way around. There are lots of FD to EF mount adapters in the market. Thanks for the video but my question is, how come your camera makes a beep sound when in focus, whereas my 5D MK II won't? And the aperture reading is 00.
Yes. But you won't be able to focus to infinity. The flange distance (distance from glass to sensor) will be too great. It might make a better macro lens though haha
No, you can shoot regular way through viewfinder, works the same. But for fine focus I mostly use live view. Focus confirmation works better when shoot through viewfinder though.
***** Hello! Canon FD mount lenses doesnt have any focus confirmation abilities. Canon FD to EF or FD to EOS adapters may have AF confirmation chip. Usually they coast $5-$10 more then ones without chip.
Aperture blades could be stack wide open, it is pretty common for vintage lenses. Most likely there is oil covered aperture blades make then sticky. Has nothing to do with adapter.
Here is a link for good adapter you might use www.ebay.com/itm/2nd-Generation-AF-Confirm-Canon-FD-Lens-to-Canon-EOS-EF-Adapter-Glass-Infinity-/231050783723?hash=item35cbb32beb:m:md-2NholPcATfvyCF3AHP8A
usmalibu thanks but I got one that's a lot cheaper but it doesn't have the contacts. It works fine for now but I'll maybe buy this one layer if I have some more FD lenses
Need to use one more piece of glass between FD lenses and EOS camera simply destroy quality of these great lenses. Use them rather on cameras with m43 sensors and for Canon EOS I recomend to use wonderfull old manual Ai Nikkor lenses. You will get perfect optical quality without any compromises in sharpnes, speed and optical quality and they are cheap too.
Many reasons, depends on camera, also make sure you got af confirmation chip installed on adapter, without chip camera cant read aperture setting. There are 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation of dandelion chips. 1st and 2nd will not work properly on Canon 70D, 6D, 60D, 5D Mk III. 3rd generation chips should work, but I didnt test them yet, so cant guarantee. Try some forums, it may be helpful. I hope it helps!
Why don't you provide the brand/model of this adapter. several people asked you for that and you have provided no response. Why making this video then.. ??? You are very disappointing..
WHAT BRAND OF ADAPTER IS THIS!!! Literally all the comments are asking this with no answer. My guess is the person who manages this channel died. The contacts on that adapter are perfect and I'm hunting for it.

The correctional lens in the adapter has X 0.25 crop factor, so all together its more like 87mm f/1.4, which is very nice focal length for portraits.
Sir, this is a great demonstration, could you kindly tell us from where did you get that top quality lens adapter. thank you
Thank you so much-was going crazy trying to get the aperture ring to work!
I thought I had permanently gotten my adapter stuck on the lens! Thanks for posting this

Yes, those adapters can be in different forms. some with chip some without, some with correctional glass for normal use, some without glass for macro use only.
Will it also focus to infinity?
FD to EOS adapters suck, also Minolta MD to EOS, the best vintage lens mounts for Canon EOS are M42, Yashica/Contax and Olympus.
Thanks you are a good teacher
How come the 1.2 lens is recognised as a 1.4 lens?
what's the name of this adapter?
Can anyone help me? I have a EF lense I wanna put on a Canon FD body. But the adapter I have doesn’t seem to work
I could be missing something but I believe there are no EF to FD/FL mount adapter, so you can use your EF lenses on Canon FD mount film cameras. It's the other way around. There are lots of FD to EF mount adapters in the market.
Thanks for the video but my question is, how come your camera makes a beep sound when in focus, whereas my 5D MK II won't? And the aperture reading is 00.
Is it possible to adapt it from fd to ef to m43?
Yes. But you won't be able to focus to infinity. The flange distance (distance from glass to sensor) will be too great. It might make a better macro lens though haha
Sounds not that bad. Great info, wish I'd seen this vid before trying out all my new/old lens! Worked it out in the end though.
do you only can shoot on liveview with this apadters ?
No, you can shoot regular way through viewfinder, works the same. But for fine focus I mostly use live view. Focus confirmation works better when shoot through viewfinder though.
Ok thanks !!!
usmalibu do FD lenses usually have focus confirmation chips??
*****
Hello! Canon FD mount lenses doesnt have any focus confirmation abilities. Canon FD to EF or FD to EOS adapters may have AF confirmation chip. Usually they coast $5-$10 more then ones without chip.
the aperture is frozen, I try to everything as who's ever advised on you tube but no luck!
Aperture blades could be stack wide open, it is pretty common for vintage lenses. Most likely there is oil covered aperture blades make then sticky. Has nothing to do with adapter.
Can you put a link to get the Adapter

on what lenses from the FD seriese i cant use this adapter?
Most of older FD mount and all FDn mount lenses.

Semyon Simakov
If lens comes with Canon FD mount then yes. Those usually fit no problems
The lense need a focus calibration to infinity
What am I supposed to spend on one of those adapters? I can buy one from a trusted electronics store for €60 or I can get one out of China for €10.
Here is a link for good adapter you might use

usmalibu thanks but I got one that's a lot cheaper but it doesn't have the contacts. It works fine for now but I'll maybe buy this one layer if I have some more FD lenses
Need to use one more piece of glass between FD lenses and EOS camera simply destroy quality of these great lenses. Use them rather on cameras with m43 sensors and for Canon EOS I recomend to use wonderfull old manual Ai Nikkor lenses. You will get perfect optical quality without any compromises in sharpnes, speed and optical quality and they are cheap too.
thanks!!!! now it works!!! thanks for sharing!!!
how to remove a Pentax k to FD adapter from a lens?
Ramez George can’t tell, newer done such thing
Thank you so much ... I was about to go insane 😁
Com esse adaptador a lente passa a ser 1:1.8.
why on my camera can't read aperture?
Many reasons, depends on camera, also make sure you got af confirmation chip installed on adapter, without chip camera cant read aperture setting. There are 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation of dandelion chips. 1st and 2nd will not work properly on Canon 70D, 6D, 60D, 5D Mk III. 3rd generation chips should work, but I didnt test them yet, so cant guarantee. Try some forums, it may be helpful.
I hope it helps!
Thanks, it's very helpful you are awesome.
What is name is
This is okay 👍
Try the Photodiox it works gr8
You can buy the EF lens cheaper than what you are selling the FD lens for, that really doesn't make sense.
Good video.
Thank you very much!
A new mic would work great.....Sound !! Hello..
Sorry, what did you say? ;-)
I'm not a big fan of Canon FD mount.
Why don't you provide the brand/model of this adapter. several people asked you for that and you have provided no response. Why making this video then.. ??? You are very disappointing..
WHAT BRAND OF ADAPTER IS THIS!!! Literally all the comments are asking this with no answer. My guess is the person who manages this channel died. The contacts on that adapter are perfect and I'm hunting for it.
Sheed Not sure if you are still searching for it. I believe it is manufactured by PIXCO.
I could barely hear you
I can’t hear 👂 YOU‼️
Sound is very poor i will look somewhere else.
These lens have characteristic. Today's lens are boring.
Fatastic!!
No explanation as to where to get a chipped adaptor. This is a hoax
Shity audio
thank you very much, that's helpful...
Hi do you need to program the chip to recognise the aperture settings of the lens? Thanks in advance for your reply?
