The original statement was that it was not "possible to mount a FD lens on an EOS body." based on one attempt at a camera club without the required adapter. Regardless of tradeoffs (optical adapter) it IS "possible." Different and inferior is for another debate which I will not involve myself in. > You can mount almost everything on EOS, due to the short register and > lerge diameter, but not K-mount, unless you castrate the lens. Ask Cotty > :o) He has been pretty successful, so it is possible. The fact that there are adapters commercially available for it (with or without taking a hacksaw to the lens) means it is "possible." Useful or practical is another question. :-) -- Christian http://photography.skofteland.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
