FD adapter's

[ARTnVIDEO]

which Ebay seller has the best tried, and tested FD adapter? Whats the best bet as far as ebay adapters? Seems to be adapter seller's popping up left and right!

I'm still perfectly happy with my ciecio7 one. Just two pieces of aluminium, no screws or other loose parts that can break or fall off. Sits tighter on the body than the kit lens. Infinity focus works as it should.

Thanks Martti!

rainbowimaging on ebay worked for me. I have a second one (Pentax adapter) in the mail as we speak.

Is anyone else having trouble taking off the ciecio7 adapter? I can't seem to get it off and don't want to turn too hard. I'm pressing in the lock release and turning with a little oomp, but it won't budge.

I finally got it off. damn, that was tuff. This adapter is really really really tuff. Anyone with the same adapter think it's too tight?

I was hoping to answer that today... but still waiting on mine

taking forever..

 

[rundavids]

I waited for a week and got it today. Used it first time and it's nice but taking it off was a little unjolly. Maybe i have to keep using it so it "wears in"
the first thing I would do is clean the adapter first. It still had some traces of metal dust.

 

[Martti Ekstrand]

Ummm... I think mine sits as it should with no play unlike the kit lens which have a half a millimeter of it.

 

[rundavids]

Yeah, it's a really great adapter. Just freaked me out when I couldn't get it off. It was really tight. I had to struggle to turn it to get off.

yeah, not to worry though. there are some adapters that are just loose enough to not sit right in the camera's locking mechanism, and error messages result.

 

[rundavids]

That's good to hear Chris.

I use m43-C mount adapter with FD-C, Nikon-C, Kodak S-C, Arri St-C, Arri Bayo-C adapters. This way if I'm not happy with infinity I can always shim it to my liking.

I bought an inexpensive one from RainbowImaging that arrived in three days, seems to be well made, fits and works well -- bought a timer from them, too, so they cut me a deal on shipping. They have two models, one's solid black and doesn't appear to be screwed together, but I liked this one best:
