Will the Canon FD 50mm f/1.8 be compatible with the EOS adapter i bought ?

Ignore the last post

Right ive bought the Canon and the fd-NX adapter and ill sell the other stuff on. Just waiting for it to arrive now. I'll be back as soon as it arrives with pics, problems etc lol

There are a few very good/dead cheap FD lenses, try charity shops and the such;attics/relatives basements!

You can find NX 20-50 for dead cheap in various sources, and you will have full auto capabilities, for a newbie and general purpose family lens has excellent sharpness (I think it has an ED element) and it is suoer compact and light.

Good photo taking!

Hi,.

Yes, my father in law said he has some old lenses he doesn't use but no idea what they are yet. I really want to get into manually operating the camera so not too worried about AF etc but I have got the Samsung lens as a "saved search" on eBay just in case a bargain pops up. Truth is, I've been blown away by some of the photos people have uploaded using legacy lenses and I want a bit of that action !!! I know they have years of experience but I'm obsessive so I'll persevere.

Excellent! When you learn what kind of lenses he has, come back.for more.info!

Will do. Camera arrived today  it's very tidy and looks like new  very pleased. Just need the lens etc to try it lol.
