I just checked the one with the glass gets the best review It's a $50 item. The cheaper one $30 says lenses wiggle going to return etc. So I would obviously get the better one but there seemed to be a question about the bayonette mount which I believe my old AE1 lenses to be. Is that what kind of mount you are using this adapter with. No hurry I just went ahead with my 60d purchase and my husband doesn't like to see to many boxes get delivered every other day. I have to pull out the old lenses to be sure also. I can see it being handy as you said there are a lot of cheap fd lenses out there with the switch to digital. Thank you

You still need the adapter to mount FD lenses to you EOS camera's. It is a special small, go-between- lens and camera adapter that adapts old FD lenses on your EOS camera body.

Didn't know that. Tnx for the heads-up. BTW I use old Canon FD lenses on my Canon 60D with an adapter, very well. Can't imagine There isn't a way to adapt the EF-S LENSES TO A 5DMK!!
Several have tried, with no success. Lens adapters alter the actual connection mechanisms to mate bodies and lenses that aren't specifically designed to go together. Some adapters use glass to refocus light, others are simply metal tubes with different bayonet or screw type mounting threads. Glass-less are best, if possible, since they don't degrade light. For example, you can get mounts to adapt old MF Pentax lenses to Canon cameras, of which I have a couple - the old Asahi Pentax Takumar lenses from the 60s and 70s are built like tanks, and if you don't mind doing everything manually, are not bad little pieces of glass. The adapters to allow older Canon FD lenses to mount to EOS cameras add a glass lens for refocusing, from what I hear.
The EF-S mount is actually narrower than the EF mount. There is something about the distance to the mirror from the plane of the front mount that actually causes physical interference with the innards of the full-frame sensor camera if you try to stick an EF-S lens on them.

What does the L stand for. What is the same thing for a Nikon. I mean L is a top Cannon. What is the top for Nikon.

I have four Canon lens but the one I use the most is the
18-135 mm kit lens that came with my 50D. I have compared it with my 100 mm 'L' series lens and I can't see much if any difference in picture quality. The 60D at B&H comes with the
18-135mm lens. The lens sold separately is $439. I really like the lens.

A Canon sales rep once told me that the 'L' stands for luxury.
I don't know about the Nikon Lens.

Where do you get an adapter to use an FD lens on Canon 50D?
What would be the official name of such an adapter.

I bought a couple of the adapters from Adorama.com. I'm sure that B&H has them too. There called 'FD mount to EOS mount' adapters.

I bought the 60d with the 18-135 after reading the reviews about the 18-200 which is the other choice as a kit. It should be coming tomorrow. Im hoping this will be my lens that spends the most time on my camera. I have 2 events in december so I will test it before then. I heard it had a better focal lenght. I read reviews before my decision. Thanks

As we all know the instruction manual that comes with cameras leave a lot to be desired.
There is a company you can order the same manual but it is notebook size. The prices are very reasonable. My 50D manual was about 15. Large print and easy to read. I love it.

I downloaded my 60D manual from Canon as a PDF file. It is easy and a quick reference when I need to study some camera function. Also, my 60D came with a quick reference guide in the box.
