Is there such an animal? I'm currently using my FD lenses on the X-E2 and it's driving me crazy that I have to do a double take every time I pick up a lens to ensure that it will give me the proper field of view. A reducing adapter will go a long way toward making things seamless.

Thanks

Yes there are, usually called "Focal Reducer". Speedbooster is also another name, but is specific to Metabones brand. Just look up "FD-FX focal reducer" on your favorite website and it should pop up. Be aware of generic brand products, where the optics is not very good. I have a Mitakon Lens Turbo II EF-FX and has good image quality. I think the worst was Fotodiox, which they later changed the name to "softening lens" because it was like adding Vaseline to the front of your lens. Unfortunately Mitakon stop selling FD-FX focal reducers, but you may find a used one somewhere.

Thanks!  I'll look for either Mitakon or Metabones.
