Can you use old Canon manual-focus lenses with EOS cameras

PDF Print E-mail

Not really. In the years before introducing EOS autofocus cameras, Canon sold many manual-focus lenses for their SLR cameras. The majority of these lenses are of the FD type. Sadly, FD lenses cannot be used with EOS cameras. The lens mounts are of incompatible sizes and types. This is in contrast to Nikon - most Nikon manual-focus F-series lenses can be used with most Nikon autofocus cameras.

 

 

Now it is possible to use adapter rings to attach FD lenses to EOS cameras. Unfortunately it’s usually not worth the nuisance, in my opinion. There are just too many drawbacks. I have a separate article on using manual-focus lenses with Canon EOS cameras, if you’d like to learn more.
