Adapting FL to EF

[smacafee]

I've hear there's a tutorial somewhere for how to adapt FL lenses to EF mount. I'm looking to adapt the FL 55mm f/1.2 so I can use it on a 5D MarkII. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have the link you are looking for, however, since the Canon FL and FD share the same basic mount you can simply purchase an FD to EOS adapter. The problem is - that beautiful glass (I have one) will be degraded by the cheap lens in the adapter that is needed to overcome the difference in registration distances between FD/FL and EOS.

looks risky?
