I am double posting this as I am not sure which forum.I have chance to buy a Canon 100mm macro fd with adapter, for a good price. My question is do they work good with adapter. I have read reviews on this subject with mixed results. The price is right and less than I have found the lens listed for. I seems to be almost in mint condition. He will let me try it on my camera before buying.

Adapting to what camera? Make sure that adapter is high quality, with electronic connectors to preserve auto-aperture and auto-focus.

Adapters may effect focus at infinity, but do not negatively effect macro work.

The camera is a Canon 450 D or xsi depending on what country you are in. It is listed on Craigs list and I called the gentleman about it and he is 86 and said he used to be pro, but sold most of his stuff about a year ago but missed this lens. Thanks for the reply.

Make an appointment, and take your camera to the lens. If seller is legit, he will allow you to try lens at his location. If possible, take a laptop with you, so you can upload images and enlarge for critical review.
