Dennis, Arrgh - I wasn't counting the New FD 35mm F2. By that time, Canon had long ago moved away from Thorium glass. Where'd you find that optical info??...
I just got the stal of the century. A local old time camera shop went out of business ending yesterday. I walked in and found a CLEAN inbrassy Canon FTb with...

What i'd like to know is this only the 35mm lenses or other lenses? Is this only in the FL series lenses or also the FD? What about the standard 50mm lenses...
I would like to thank everyone who gave me advice on this topic. I ended up taking the 300mm and leaving a 2x extender at home. I took a 28, 50 and 85 but...
Hi Steve, Just viewed your photos...very, very nice! I especially liked the B&W's of the zebras and the Fort Jesus shot. If I remember correctly you were...
Hey Group, I am continually amazed at the lenses available for our FD mount cameras and for reasonable prices. It also amazes me how you take an AE-1 or any...
Last year (or maybe 2-3 years ago ?) I picked up my dream lens -- a FD 300 2.8 L - at a price that was excellent ($700 US); Condition of the glass was great;...

Zinc Air batteries have a very short life. Your battery is dead. The only Canon Camera that will accept the newer 1.5 volt button batteries with no voltage...
I still research fd glass. Still own all my canon FL and FD literature. I can safely bet I own more of this printed material than anyone else here. I have...
Before you do anything else, try fitting an EPX625A which will not give you an accurate reading but will tell you if the problem is with the batteries or the...

As seen on the Rangefinder Forum, Peter Dechert has kindly made available a PDF version of his monograph 'Canon Single Lens Reflex Cameras 1959-1991' at...
Sweet! The perfect companion to my Dechert Canon Rangefinders book: 1933-1968. Very Cool author to scan and allow free personal use of his book. thanks for the...
You mean, other than Nikon or Pentax, you'd be hardpressed to find a third company who has this data handy? Nikon just celebrated their 40 Millionth F Mount...
Lindy, do you (or anyone else?) know of a Pentax DSLR to FD adapter? The Sony system I am trying (A100 with a modified Bower 7000/9000+CF) fails to perform as...

Yeah that is my major gripe with Canon, the way they abandon their customers. I mean they have made some really beautiful fun cameras but they do abandon...
Not a rumor. Sigma has same registration distance of 44mm as FD. A Fellow used a $80 FL 55mm 1.2 and removed the rear mount and reinstalled a sigma mount after...
