FD revival
The adapter is made entirely of metal, sits precisely and is well made. It is delivered in a lockable plastic packaging, which is also suitable for storage and transport. It is a well-known fact that those declared dead live longer. With the mirrorless M cameras from Canon, the old FD lenses can finally be used again without any loss of quality (cheap additional lenses or focus up to a maximum of 3 meters). Of course with a crop factor of 1.6. Manual focus is sufficient for landscape shots. In the lock position, the lenses can easily be stopped down to the aperture set on the lens. In AV mode, the exposure is then automatically set correctly. With my M10, focusing works quite comfortably using focus peaking (color fringes on the screen when the setting is sharp) and, if necessary, screen magnifier. Important: "Release without lens" must be selected in the custom settings in the menu. The quality of the 40-year-old FD lenses (consistently with a yellow cast - here with manual white balance) is unexpectedly good. And the price is very decent.
