I was wondering if the lenes from my Canon A1 SLR camera will fit into the
new Canon SLR EOS cameras. |

If so then according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_A-1 the A1 has an FD mount (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_FD) which is incompatible with the EF mount that is used by the EOS system (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS). jue |

And they are very hard to find nowadays.. jue |

I was wondering if the lenes from my Canon A1 SLR camera will fit into the new Canon SLR EOS cameras. They will not fit without an adaptor. Even with an adaptor, you have no AF and have monkey around with meaturing and the apureture control every time you shoot. It is much better to get EOS EF lenses. |

There was an adapter made by Canon that would only work with telephoto lenses, very rare and pricey. Adorama has sold an adapter in the past, but it was so cheap, $40, that I wouldn't think the results would be that good. Canon just abandoned the FD mount ineffect totally. I'm happier with the Nikon lenses I have purchased anyway. Tom |
