Subject: [Leica] IMG: Canon FD to EOS adapter test

Hi all,

I've read a lot about adapters from Canon FD to EOS (EF) not being worth 
bothering about, but I decided to buy one after all (one with a 
correction lens for infinity focus from enjoyyourcamera.com).

First off: with apertures wider open than f4 it makes a pretty good 
softener :-)

The following two shots were with a Canon FD 1:1.4/50 (new version) on 
my Canon 20D - no idea what the equivalent focal length is, because the 
adapter lengthens it even more.

Both were shot at f5.6 with ISO equivalent 100.

I think they are quite usable for something that's not recommended.

Opinions + critique welcome

Cheers
