Helle everyone
I am new biew in DSLR camera. I have question with Vivitar Kobori 35-105mm 3.2-4 lense, i just bought from ebay last week, the seller he said it was FD mount. I don't know which adapter i have to use to put this lense into my Canon T2i. Pls give me an advise,many thanks
 
I have the Zykkor FD to EOS adapter and I have found it to be better than others.
However, you should take into account that FD mount lenses are not the best option for EOS bodies. Because of the short focal flange distance, FD to EOS adapters require an optical element to maintain infinity focus. This optical element slightly degrades the lens sharpness and alters the perceived field of view (additional crop factor to the 1.6x of APS-C sensors, so you end up with a 2x crop factor for FD lenses). Additional shortcoming of using FD lenses on EOS bodies, is that you may get flares and halos at wide apertures due to the optical element.
M42 mount, or Olympus OM mount lenses are better options for EOS bodies ;)

I have 2 more question, pls give me an advise. Today , i just bought 2 lense : SMC Pentax_M 1:2 50mm and Tokina 80-200mm for 40$. I don't know exactly the adapter for these lense. I think the M42 can go in with SMC pentax, and the M adapter is for Tokina, is it correct?. Thanks you very much for any advises.
 
Thanks slavo
So i have to buy M42 adapter for SMC pentax. I saw in the back of Tokina lenses write O/OM, so i think it should be M mount.

If I am not mistaken, pentax_M lenses are not M42 but are instead the more recent K Mount (bayonet type, not screw). Therefore, you would need a K Mount to EOS adapter for the SMC lens. Check the back of your lenses to be sure. From your description I cannot understand what mount is the Tokina lens you bought (ie for what camera).

OM? Could this be Olympus OM mount?
Maybe the best is to ask who sold you the lenses what mount they are. Or post a picture of their back thread.

OM is indeed Olympus.
