@360ThickQuinking360 The adapter is tight with most FD lenses. I did have one Zeiss lens that was a little wiggly, but all the others I tried fit tightly. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for this info. I found it to be helpful. I see lots of the adapters on ebay. Yours appears to be the simple version with optical glass. There are "newer" ones on ebay that have a focus sensor that provides beeps when you are in focus for still shots. Do you have any expereince with that adapter or woudl you recomend one kind over the other? Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

@bal22msn I'm not familiar with the adapters with focus assist - I presume either they work only with auto focus lenses or they use some kind of contrast measurement to assume something is in focus. If you get one post a video! Thanks for watching.

Try it with a confirmation chip and youll understand the value

@lsi624 FD-mount lenses are manual focus. There would be no need for a focus confirmation chip on the adapter. Thanks for watching.

And no focus confirmation chip...brilliant

@mrmogway with any all manual lens, you set the f-stop on the lens itself. the settings for f-stops on the camera itself will go blank, and you can no longer control it that way.

[mrmogway]

I'm trying to understand... with the adapter mounted, which controls the f-stop settings for picture taking. In other words, if I set the camera to f22 and the lens to f1.8 what will happen, will it go with 22 or 1.8? I think I'm missing something. I look forward to our reply.
