Hello

i am new to canon, and i would like to know about some lens adopters:

- Canon FD to EF - if there are any at all? i think i read somewhere that its not possible ...
- Nikkor/Nikon to EF
- Minolta MD to EF
- m42 to EF

any other popular mounts to EF? plz post it all here!

also i would like to find out about Macro rings for EF and extension tubes, what do u guys use for that? and does it brings any troubles like loosing F stops?

regards

not possible (there are adaptors, but they don't allow infinity focus. or give horrible results)

just do some research yourself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flange_focal_distance

all lenses with flange distances shorter then 44.0 mm won`t be adaptable without modifications. longer ones might be.

guys i need help with Nikon to EF lens mount or adopter, i kind of confused as nikon has several mounts as i understood and i cant find what is the mount is on that lens?

i want that tokina for my c300, but cant figure out what mount is that ..... have never been dealing with nikons yet...
and do i need AF-Confirm Chip at all?

regards
 
Good question:does a confirm chip deliver any extra information to the c100/300?
Would love to use my M42 lenses with the c100
 
I used a confirm chip with my M42 and my 7D. The square turned green when it was in focus... something like that... but not sure anymore.
If yolu have peaking an magnification there is actually no really need for focus confirm... am I right?

Correct. I use my m42 lens' on my C100 with no issues. Peaking + my eyeballs are good enough for me. :)
 
also to note, for newer nikons without aperture rings, you'll need an adapter with aperture control, such as the novoflex, or the china alternative:
