I bought this adapter at: http://myworld.ebay.com/gobido.cn/
$23 is the lowest price I found on ebay. If you buy an adapter from this ebay seller, please let him know that you saw this video, thank you.

  • The sharpening is too obvious and looks bad I would take some off, would like to see the natural look of the lens without any additives.

  • @dothisdothat321 Sorry man but the sharpening doesn't look bad IMO. The natural look will make the video look bad. If you like very soft looking footage then cool, but I'd rather see sharp images. Thanks for watching.

  • do you recommend getting FD over EF lens for Portraits?. FDs are cheaper and auto focus doesn't matter to me.

  • @Khmerv3 Well, like I said, give the fd lens some good lighting and the results will be pretty good. Just buy the adapter and a lens and try it out. I guarantee that you can resell the adapter and lens back on ebay and lose little money. Maybe even get all your money back. Take a look at my video "Lost Dog Found"..I took pics with an fd lens and pics look pretty good. I'm no photographer so don't expect good pics but the quality of the lens is good.

  • i see the opening on the adapter is fairly small. the question is, does the adapter raise your aperture?

  • @Khmerv3 You can keep the aperture at 1.8f (if your lens permits it) or increase if you like. However, at 1.8f to 3.5f your image will look rather soft. If you give it enough light, they can shine. take a look at my "The Yard 2" video and I used a Rokinon $25 fd lens 70-180mm and the images look very nice. Thanks!

  • @defnyung thanks you. looks like I'm getting FD lens now :)

  • I have a Rokinon 85mm lens compatible for Canon 550D. As this lens is fully manual, I need AF confirmation chip. Please let me know if I have to buy chip only or chip with adapter. If I require adapter too, what kind of adapter. your valuable advised would be highly appreciated.

  • @dentrezz Nope. I only add a bit of sharpness. Take a look at my video 'The Yard 2' which I also used an FD lens. Nice colors in that video.

  • are any of these shots color corrected?
