I've picked up a few FD lenses to play with on my 5D, and I also needed to source an FD-EOS adapter.
I'm hugely disappointed with the results.
I'm so used to a focus-confirm chipped M42 adapter and the EBay adapter I've sourced for the FD is not only non-chipped but also has a glass element as well as taking care of the metalwork issues in the different mounts.
Whilst I could hold my hand up to some operator error on focus I don't believe that it's necessarily all down to me. I'm getting enough sharpness through the viewfinder to know I'm about right but at all kinds of focal lengths the focus is simply not there, together with what I'm calling soap bubble bokeh. See for yourselves.
The lenses - Canon FD 50mm in f/1.8 and f/2.0 and a Sigma-Z 135mm f/2.8 look okay to the naked eye, the new FD-EOS adapter also looks good to the naked eye.
The results are just so... so... rubbish. If I thought that this was all I could achieve with an MF lens I'd walk away now.
So, I kinda blame the adapter but where do I go from here with FD lenses?
Canon 50mm f/1.8
Here's the Sigma taken with the Canon f/2.0
Taken with the Sigma 135mm
And lastly with the Canon f/1.8: whilst I quite like the effect here, it isn't what I saw through the viewfinder and, frankly, it's not something I'd want to recreate every day.

Ok, ultimate solution is the conversion, but your samples are not well. It goes better with adapter indeed, but depending on the lens and glass adapter
For example
http://forum.mflenses.com/canon-fd-f4-80-200l-t24781,highlight,rolf.html
and here
http://forum.mflenses.com/fd-glass-adapter-canon-fd-to-eos-t25259,highlight,rolf.html
Results will be better with longer focal lengths > 100 mm
BTW can recommend 100 % trifox´s conversion

You can use the FD lenses perfect with m4/3 for example, problem is still FD to EOS. That makes really no sense. And conversion - if you can´t do it by yourself - is so expensive, that it is only worth for few "special" FD lenses.
And for these few lenses you have to pay today so much money that at the end of the day it is better to buy an actual EF lens in good used condition.

Takes all the fun out of it doesn't it - unless you use a Nik.. body it seems
I'm determined that my MF lens interest will remain with prime lenses only and when the cost is not the same as an EF L lens. _________________ I used to think digital was fun but then I discovered film, then I found old lenses and then, eventually I found rangefinders.

You hold a long grudge! 23 years...
All those Minolta MD lenses. All those Contax/Yashica lenses (had they stayed in the camera business, their autofocus line was not compatible with the C/Y mount...)
There are also many many little gotchas with mixing and matching Nikon lenses and bodies from various eras.
About the only company that's really succeeded in keep compatibility is Pentax.
One nice thing about obsolete lens mounts is that you can pick up nice Canon FD and Minolta MD kits for next to nothing and keep right on shooting film. _________________ Eugene

Using a Nik body is possibly making the problem worst : the registration distance is even longer than EF.

Definitely the cheapest solution.
As a side note someone even succeeded in modifying an EF body, for the bravest and not faint hearted: http://www.colorbroken.com/subdermis/canonFD60.html
Not something I would try with last generation bodies...

Due to the design of the long telephotos it might be possible to reach infinity without a glass, by means of altering the infinity stop. This is also depending largely on thickness and design of the adapter.

Even with longer focal lengths you can have only few meters, so that is not a question of getting infinity or not - you will not reach 10 meters.

It would be interesting to photograph the steps and more interesting to see the resulting images, but make sure you have a firm plan in place before any butchery begins
Stan (member Trifox here) and his man did the conversion of my FD 1.2/55 S.S.C. to permanent EF mount, and did an amazing job - I didn't have the tools, patience or courage to do it myself

Well, I've bought yesterday a 100-300 f FD 5.6. As new. Never been opened.
I removed the mount and is ready for conversion. It would be interesting to photograph the steps?

You can, of course, get adapters FD to EOS which have no lens, but don't allow infinity focus. |
And you get FD-EOS-adapters that produce much better results than the ones shows here.
Make sure you have a coated lens inside and don't take the cheapest adapter. _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!
