Why Canon does not have old adapters for my SLR camera lenses? I can get them with Sony, but not for Canon

I have an old Canon Ftb with a goal of 1.4 fd. I'm getting into digital cameras now (just to have a 12 G for now, mainly used for underwater photography). I would like to stay with Canon, but I'm very annoyed that Canon doesn't have a way to continue to use their old lenses. Nikon, for all their flaws are much better at you can continue to use your old stuff.

Then I find that if I'm going to Sony (Yes, really, Sony) can I use my lenses from Canon ol via an adapter. This my Canon, tell me it ain't so. You must have a way, I just have not yet discovered.

There are many challenges with this and the "adapters" are to be considered with a certain scepticism.

The FD lenses are mechanical - no electronics.  The case of the unit, on the other hand, has an electronic interface for the lens - nothing of mechanics.   This means that if you set the goal, you would have to manually set the aperture but also of manual focus of the lens.

Your Canon DSLR had a split Prism focusing in the viewfinder to help.  A new camera does not work.  The reason why there is no help from the development is because most of the lenses are autofocus so it is simply not necessary.  This makes it particularly difficult to tell when you've worn exactly the goal.  Making it even more difficult is that any device with a sensor size of APS - C (most of them) have a small viewfinder that you had on your Canon SLR photography.

In addition, the lenses are optimized for a specific back focus distance.  Canon's EOS cameras have a depth of 44 m from the mounting flange of lens at the front of the body at the level of development within the body.  When you use an adapter, it modifies that distance.  If you change too much, the lens behaves as if it is mounted with extension tubes, the entire range of focus is moved closer to the camera, and it can be is no longer able to focus to infinity.

There are 3 parties that make these lenses... conversion kits but they do them for a few drinks (not all) and that they require a bit of surgery on the goal (e.g. this level which protrudes beyond the rear of the lens used to set the aperture value should go).

But... the modern lenses are just so much better than the old FD lenses.   Requires really quite the dozen FD lens to make it interesting this fuss.  Also, I own a Canon SLR (AE-1) and a few glasses of FD... but have no interest in trying to use one of these lenses on my EOS DSLR cameras.

I think that this question almost as Ford asking why they do not wheel adapters let wheels it T model mount on a Mustang of 2015.  The new wheels are so much better than the old wheels, you want to continue to use the old wheels.

Leave your old lenses in the past.  Mine are on the shelf alongside my AE-1... body as a conversation piece.  I don't actually use them.

  • Why Apple does not have a backup battery for Apple devices?

    Why Apple does not have a backup battery for Apple device? Recommended us that of our full when we are on the road, so they should do a backup battery for their devices instead of other companies do. The backup battery that I use for my iPhone 5 c don't let my phone screen timeout as he does when I'm with the regular wall charger. Can anyone help?

    Consult the manual for your backup battery.  There should be a switch or a button to activate the phone load.  It should not be left in charge mode all the time because the phone thinks it has unlimited power when charging, so disabled several energy-saving features (like display sleep, closing a connection Wi - Fi when he sleeps).

  • Why apple does not have a Dual SIM iphone?

    Why apple does not have a Dual SIM iphone?

    I have 2 numbers and one of the members of my family has 4 digits. We both prefer to have an iphone with a Dual-SIM and member of my family would rather have 2 iphones with dual sim each, rather than an iphone and 3 different phones.

    In other words, it would be easier and much better than holding an iphone and another phone for several numbers.

    Is it possible that Apple plans to make iphones Dual SIM?

    Thanks in advance

  • Why Motorola does not have hands-free in the bike box?

    Why Motorola does not have hands-free box?

    I have all kinds of helmets that work very well.

    As to why the bike not turned in the box - I would say that most people do not use them. You may disagree, and perhaps it is regional. But looking around the United States and the European Union, most of the people with cell phones do not use wired headphones. And the few people I know that do, tend to buy a different brand of what is in the box.

    In the United States, you can get them in many stores for less then $10 for Motorola is saving most of us who do not use wired headphones. I have a set that runs in my backpack as a backup, but I always forget it's there and use the phone without it.

  • Why Apple does not allow an iPhone to do scan WiFi?

    About 4 years ago, Apple pulled all applications that have enabled an iPhone search for WiFi networks. Why? (There was something for developers who use "Private APIs").

    There are a number of tools available for analysis for Macs. I helped a café owner to untangle its WiFi (it had both an old, disconnected and a new active WiFi router, and had the same channels as the business side) and used my scanner for Mac to try to optimize my home network. But I still have a low coverage in some corners of the House. An iPhone would be a perfect device to determine interference and blind spots, because it is much more portable than my laptop. But Apple does not allow this use.

    Why Apple does not allow this very convenient using an iPhone? I just read about a hack that allows it to display the power of a cellular signal in detail. But you can't do it for WiFi. It makes no sense to me. Apple could do this job if she wanted to.

    Thanks for any thoughts.

  • Why iMovie does not recognize photos in projects?

    Why iMovie09 does not recognize photos in projects?

    I made a new projects and adds several still images. Photos are displayed in the project field, but right the screen remains black.

    I checked one of my old projects with still frames that will work perfectly, but it has the same problem - the photos do not appear on the screen more.

    Is there something that can be done? I also noticed that I can't get iPhoto to iMovie to add photos, not more, and Photo Booth is available.

    An iMovie11 upgrade would solve the problem? I do not have doen that, due to the large amount of results negative comments on iMovie 11 receipt.

    This is a bug widely reported with iMovie versions 8 or 9 ('09 or 11) under El Capitan.  Only iMovie 10.1.1 works 100% on El Capitan.

  • Why Apple does not provide a 10 W charger with the air of the iPad 2 when the barn of the computer and hundreds of people on the web say he needs a 12 W charger because Apple has changed their software and 10 W very slow iPad charges.

    Why Apple does not provide a 10W for I pad air 2 charger when the barn of the computer and hundreds of people on the web say that the 10 W does not work and it takes a 12 W charger.  Burning of the computer told me that Apple has changed their software on the iPad and now requires a 12 W charger.

    So you're claiming Apple is selling iPads with a charger that doesn't work?

    A charger 10W works perfectly well. A 12W charger can be slightly faster to load under certain conditions.

  • Why Overwatch does not not on all Apple computers?

    Why Overwatch does not not on all Apple computers?

    Because it runs on Windows and the authors have not written a version of OSX. You could set up "Boot Camp" and install Windows on that, then you can run it if your machine is capable (although it will not work on a Windows computer up-to-date). You can also install Windows in a 'virtualizer' such as Parallels, but it is quite unlikely that a complex game would run satisfactorily.

    Does anyone have a solution for the use of Bible Illustrator 3.0 MS8 and MS7

    What are the requirements of system for this program?

    What version of Windows it says on the package, it was designed for?

    If its designed for an earlier version of Windows such as Windows 95 or Windows 98 or XP, then it is probably incompatible with Windows 8.

    If the product packaging indicates anything in the 1990s OR early 2000s, I am afraid that this is not something that is guaranteed to work with Windows 8.

    You can try the following average time.

    Point to the installation files where they are.

    Right-click on the configuration file, and then click "troubleshoot compatibility".

    Wait, it detects the problem.

    Click on the option "worked in an earlier version of Windows.

    Select Windows 7 RTM or better Windows Vista SP2

    When the installation is complete, click Finish and save the settings.

    If I understand you correctly, this is not true: you can create storage with different blocks and create objects in their breast.
