Adapted Was bored and picked up an adapter

[Normware]

An FD to RF adapter. I have some Canon Film cameras (AE-1 program and an A-1) I also have some FD lenses. Decided it would be fun to see what I get out from them. The adapter was only 50$ CDN, so not a big investment. Totally manual. No autofocus no aperture or shutter priority. Auto Iso does work. really funny to try and set an exposure because only the shutter thumb(?) wheel worked. I had to set aperture on the lens. At this point I have nothing to show for it as I was only playing with it in my house. I will be going out this weekend on a photo meet up, and will try it out "in the field".

The lenses are
Vivitar 28-80mm F3.5-4.5
Five star Auto Macro 75-200mm F4.5
Canon 50 mm F1.8 (this will be fun to compare to canon rf 50mm f/1.8 stm)
and a Quantaray 2x extender.

Images to follow

Cool.
The 200mm macro sounds intriguing. They don't have that anymore.

I have 2 FD lenses that both have FD to EOS adapters already on them. I think I bought them from Cash Converters back in 2005 when I got my first Canon. It was a 350D and these lenses were cheap. Strangely, one is a 50mm 1.4 Canon and the other is a 200mm Panagor 3.5. I know I have to set he R5 to Release shutter without lens to get it to take photos with them both. I have some spare time this week so I'll play with them and post some images. They both look to be in really good condition for their age.
