Nice catch!  You won't be disappointed. I got a few FD bodies and glass and love them. Seen your signature my advice would be to get an FD/Adaptall ring to complete the outfit.
Regards, Marty. |

Is that ticket genuine ? As granny used to say, 'You can't beat that with a stick'.
Will you get Canon lenses to go with it? Right now they are oh-so-cheap, apart from the Speed Giants. The standard lens you have is excellent, and the little 35mm f2.8 wide angle is an absolute beauty, pity it can't be used straight onto a DSLR (maybe on the new Micro 4/3 ones though?)

I'll hopefully collect a *few* FD lenses, and as is eluded to above, an Tamron->FD adapter is probably the order of the day! Looking forward to using it

That looks a beauty!
Being a Canon DSLR man, I'm always tempted to go for one of the A range, but as the lenses aren't compatable with EOS cameras I've avoided them as I really don't want 3 systems, but as M42 > FD adapters are available, it's got me thinking. 
Great catch Graham!

Not saying this is it, but try turning the sprocket hole spindle on the take-up side as if film was passing over it. Some cams have this connected internally, it's not just an idler, you might hear/feel it cocking part of the mechanism.
