  Any of you experiment with old manual lenses on these new Canons? I understand the adapters and small sensors will crop a wide angle lens making it act as a longer lens, but it would be worth playing with, right? The adapters and lens are cheap enough and I can't afford new Canon lenses. So, anybody? Let's see some.

  I've got a couple of Minolta lenses already and an adapter on the way.

  • old lenses + adapter will work on EOS well, crop-factor in body, not lens....vaxorcist
  • so if you're using an old 50mm lens on a crop body, it looks like 80mm in viewfindervaxorcist
  • but if you put that same 50mm lens on a 5D mark II fullframe, it will look like 50mmvaxorcist
