Re: Just got a 450D, have some questions and need a FD adapter.

The cost of a 50mm f1.8 EF lens is less than $100. You'll be better off with that than an adapter as stated by the other responders. However, I suggest you consider the new, low-cost 24mm EF-S Canon lens because it will give you a field of view closer to what you're used to with the 50mm lens on a film camera.

And no, the 50mm FD lens will never autofocus. There's no focus motor (and no diaphragm motor for auto exposure either).
