This are FD mount lenses from what I can see. You can use then with an adapter (FD-EF) but you cant focus to infinity.

I use this one

Buy this and have fun

You can use an adapter to use them on some cameras, including Canons, I use a few different Canon FD lenses on my Sony camera.

It has a Canon FD mount . This is the mount Canon used prior to switching to the EF (EOS) mount back in 1987. You can buy adapters like this that will let you mount it on your new Canon body, but you won't have autofocus, or control of the aperture from the camera

> a Canon FD to EOS adapter that isn't $2000 and that also isn't utter shite at a reasonable price

Never used one but this one on Amazon is less than $40 and has 300+ reviews with an average of 4/5 -- is it "utter shite"...? ;-)

I was planning on using a adapter such as this one: http://amzn.com/B003EB0AXY

The reviews do talk about losing crispness of focus :(

Looks like I'll be returning all of this :(

Thanks mj, can you tell me which one on amazon you think might fit? Do you think this one would?

I picked up this FD to EOS adapter for $35 +shipping on Amazon.

Take the other $165, go to your local used camera shop, and pick up a couple old Canon FD lenses. I got a 28mm for $50, a 2X Extender for $20, and a 35-70mm for $20. I think they also had 50mm f1.8 lenses for $30 and 70-200mm zoom lenses starting at $50. All FD

Couple things you should know: You will only be able to use manual focus with an FD to EOS adapter (which tends to be better for video). The adapter will also make you lose about a stop of light as well as increasing the focal length, makes a 28mm function like a 35mm.

So my dad had a Canon TLb from the 70's with a Canon FD lens mount, and a few lenses. He recently got a Rebel T3i. Now he wants to use the old lenses with the T3i. I showed him this but it doesn't work with the automatic zoom/diaphram etc.

Is there a better option? Thanks.

you can buy a cheap FD mount for the t3i, also
