Although the lens will fit physically, automatic diaphragm (AE metering), or any other functions are not retained using this adapter. In this case you will need to meter in "stop-down mode" since the lens will not have the ability to have its aperture controlled by the camera body.

You need to look elsewhere and I don't know if there is a good alternative, but I'm still trying other brands. I have a full set of FD lenses, but this is not the answer for an adapter. Some lenses work, but not all. Picture quality is so-so with some lenses and HORRIBLE with others. Vignetting is a problem with certain lenses. You WILL lose at least a stop of light with this adapter. Bottom line is, if you are looking for this adapter to allow your lenses to work like they did on your Canon FD mount camera, IT WILL NOT! It's unfortunate because if the adapter worked as it should, the glass could potentially be amazing on this mount.If you are looking to take some kind of different kind of some-thing, then try it. I tried mine on an Sony A99.I took mine back. The adapter, not the camera.
Out of 10 lenses only 1 of my FD lenses fitted and that was the one I wanted a 500mm fixed f8 mirror lens ,I wanted to take pictures of the moon but the moon is shy i'v not seen the dam thing since I got the adapter it keeps hiding behind the clouds
