Any experience with this. The body is 2 mm thinner than EOS so there should be no mirror collision with back element. Focusing problems? Metering problems? Computer problems?

WHY? : bodies sold for almost nothing. Huge and cheap supply of good lenses. Motor winding and all kinds of electronic goodies .. Rolling Eyes

I've never looked, but it seems that you ought to be able to adapt M42 lenses to an FD body with no problems.... if there's anyone making the adapter.

Canon made three adapters for the FD mount:

'P' for M42.
'N' for Nikon F.
'E' for Exakta.

I've seen the M42 one myself so it does exist.

I also bought it.... Laughing
