Hey all, I guess the point of this thread is to play my devils advocate, do I or don't I?
I have searched the forums and this thread is great but no final outcome
http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/canon-lenses/266607-fd-ef-adapters.html
So we are all on the same page here is my current gear etc...
Canon 60D with 18-200 3.5-5.6
Just pulled out of storage and have only shot with it many years ago very few times:
Canon AE1 Program
50mm 1.8
Vivitar Series 1 70-210 3.5 Macro Focusing Auto Zoom Version 1 (from what I've read this is a pretty cool lens!)
What I shoot: mostly nature and wildlife
Budget: can likely squeeze in the price of an adapter but no other gear and won't be using film for a while yet.
Now I'll be honest and let you know I've mostly convinced myself to get an adapter but my fear is purchasing it and loving the lenses... almost... but because of some limitations want for more. Do I want to play with these and tease myself?
So if you have purchased an adapter what has your experience been? Good, bad, meh got bored with it and never touch it? Were there limitations you just couldn't live with? Got any pictures taken with the adapter to share?
Is there a reason I'm setting myself up for disappointment here?
Have you got a good reason for me to wait until I can afford new glass for my DSLR?
Thanks in advance
