Canon FD Lens Mount to Canon RF Camera Mount

Just had to leave a review to correct a previous reviewer, this does work with FL mount cameras too. There is indeed an obstruction from the aperture pin in the Urth mount with a couple FL lens that have a slight different shape in the mount by the rear element, but that pin is used for quick focus checking (originally with old automatic cameras).

The pin can be unscrewed with a small screwdriver like you would use for electronics (CRV+2.5), and will no longer interfere with the lens.

To use the aperture you use the two rings at the end of the lens (one has the aperture number and a dot, the other is unmarked except for a dot). Rotate the aperture ring to what you want and then rotate the unmarked ring to align the dot, and the unmarked ring will actuate the aperture with a slight twist from there.

Great build quality and price on the mount itself and happy with it, other than future designs could probably try to reduce the need to remove the pin.

I got the adapter and was totally impressed with the fit and finish of my FD to RF adapter. Works beautifully.

Sadly I was force to buy a second one and cut off the aperture control lever and grind it flush with the interior of the body. With many Canon FL lenses the lever is a few mm too far out and they jamb against it and cannot be mounted. do about 6 of my favorite FL lenses were useless without the modification. Especially my 58 mm f1.2. A suggestion is to push it back slightly for FL lenses as well. Don't worry, all FD and FDn lenses will work just fine as their aperture actuating levers extend sufficiently far back as FL and FD/FDn lenses can be used interchangeably on FD cameras and work just fine. Just a suggestion to allow more lenses to be adapted with the same adapter without having to butcher it and lose aperture control from the adapter.

Thank you for listening.

The FD to RF adapter is a simple yet elegant piece of kit. Tightly mounts to the RF camera, giving a good metal mount for the FD lens to adapt to. The aperture ring was slightly confusing to get the hang of, but now I understand how it works. I tend to set it to the most anti-clockwise so I can use the aperture ring on the lens itself due to more control/precision. I use this most often with my 50mm f1.8, but it also works with my 100-300 f5.6. A great buy!

Didn’t know what to expect but am very happy with this adapter. Tight fitting and brings my FD lenses to life again.
