Hi, I'm new here but I've been dabbling with MF-lenses on my EOS-cameras for a while..
However, I recently bought a Canon AV-1 and a 50/1.8 FD lens (not same seller) and today they were finally united.
When I tried to mount the lens, it just wouldn't work. I quickly realized something was wrong, as you can see in the picture below.
I'm pretty sure the red dot on the inside should line up with the red dot on the outside...
Is this fixable? I'm not entirely sure how the FD mount actually works, so... Any input whatsoever would be greatly appreciated! |
It does not look good, BUT it is not broken. Don't despair.
There are two tiny pins hidden by the position of bayonets unfortunately
you have to press these pins to rotate the outer breach lock ring. But to fix it
you should be a bit handy man.
BTW, your photo does not show up when it is your FIRST post in here MFlenses in order to
prevent a spam.
Anyway I will show you where those pins are in my next post, someone else may show them.
