Cheap..Cheap..Cheap!September 9, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I was so excited to get this. I had recently upgraded to the Canon Rebel digital only to find that the lens included in my package did not hold a candle to my old ones. Locking the adapter to the lens was a mess. The minute I removed it from the box I realized how delicate (cheap) the product was. I managed to get about 10 shots with my old macro when in an attempt to focus the lens...pop...right off again. While trying to reattach the product to the lens it simply fell apart. I paid $40 for about 30 minutes of lens use. For the record...I am a 5'2 female, 100 lbs and not someone who is overly rough by any means.
Works PerfectJune 2, 2008 This adapter literally saved me 100s of dollars by allowing me to use all of the lenses from my Canon AE1 with my Rebel XTi. I was able to use it to connect both Canon and Albinar lenses.
Shipping was quick as well and the item was well-packed.

Good optical instrument for attaching FD lenses to EOS EF cameras. However: Comes with NO instructions: which way does it go? It is theortically possible to jam lenses and accessories together so they can never be separated. I do not know if this would happen with this, but a simple diagram at least wouold help! Really cheesy, cheap, generic end caps. Cheap generic box.Since the caps fall right off, a good box would help keep it together. I may have to buy good caps to protect it. All in all a good product but for $100 bucks for a metal ring with a lens they did not need to scrimp like that.
