Don,
         What is an FD adapter?  I still have my old 50mm f2.8 Tessar 
attached to my equally ancient Exacta.  I always felt that this was a 
wonderful lens.  Does an FD adapter somehow attach to my SL?  I certainly 
do not propose to try to use the Exacta again for many reasons, the least 
of which is it does not work any more.  What is an FD adapter?
Thanks
Lee
