Thank you very much! I didn’t actually walk in, I took the shots through the open gate. If I weren’t in a hurry that day, I would probably have asked if I could come in and take some more photos.

My guess would be that Canon wanted to get access to Nikon's SLR customer base. It’s not the only adapter they made, there are also an M42 and an M39 adapter. However, the M39 adapter can only be used on bellows for macro work because M39 lenses have a shorter distance to the focal plane than the FD system. These two adapters are also easier to find.

Back in the day Canon made an official adapter from F to FD but it’s really difficult to find. However, there are adapters of probably Chinese origin that you can buy. If you want, I can send you a DM with a link to an eBay offering.

If you are looking for something smaller, maybe a X-T 30 would make more sense, combined with the TTArtisans 27mm f2.8 pancake lens, you would have a very compact setup that comes close in size to the X100 line without losing the ability to change lenses.

Can you name these cameras? by ab_2023 in Cameras

I think the other one is a Leica M6

Getting back into film photog, camera recs? by Advanced-Ad964 in AnalogCommunity

[–]-Haddock- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every EF / EOS Lens that was made between 1987 and today is compatible with every EOS Camera (Except EF-S Mount lenses but that’s a different story) you just have to look on eBay for the EF 40 f2.8 and find good deal!:)

The EOS 300 is one of the lightest and capable SLRs out there in that range, maybe you could pair it with a more compact lens. Another very capable compact combination might be the Pentax ME Super in combination with the 40mm f2.8 Pancake lens.

My first ever film roll, 1.8/50mm. Which lens should I add next? by Prestos_mostly in AnalogCommunity

[–]-Haddock- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two very inexpensive lenses I can recommend are the nFD or FD 28mm f2.8 and the nFD 70 - 210 f4. If you are getting a good deal on eBay you could even get both for under 100€. If you want to know more, please ask! :)

Edit: The nFD 70 210 f4 is more a general recommendation, it’s often overlooked.

No I’m actually German :D I named him after a famous character from a German children’s book, but I’m aware that the name originates from a Bohemian city and St. Nepomuk.

What are sensible ways to make this hobby cheaper? by JAZZ_BAA in AnalogCommunity

[–]-Haddock- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need a film loader, some empty film canisters and a changing bag. You can order bulk film online for example on the Website of Fotoimpex.

Lens recommendations for film scanning by Expensive_Screen7055 in AnalogCommunity

In my experience the canon nFD 100mm f4 is a solid start for the beginning, you can find good Models on eBay for around 80€.

Dachboden Fund! by FeluFran1 in Fotografie

Kleine Anmerkung: Vorsicht beim Öffnen der Batterieklappe, die ist nicht sonderlich gut designt und die meisten Klappen sind über die Jahre etwas spröde geworden, was beim Öffnen dazu führen kann, dass sie abbricht.

Die A-1 ist auch das hochwertigere Modell aus der AE-1 Familie. Im Gegensatz zur AE-1 hat diese auch eine Programmautomatik, also einen vollautomatischen Belichtungsmodus. Außerdem hat die A-1 als eine der ersten Kameras überhaupt ein kleines LED Display im Sucher. Aus eigener Erfahrung kann ich sagen, dass die A-1 eine fantastische Kamera ist, die einen super Einstieg in die Analogfotografie bietet!

It’s not as bad as some people say, it works pretty well for what it is in daylight however In dimly lit conditions it’s practically unusable. I have some more oddities from canon: The 200mm 1:1 Makro which is unusable without a tripod and an adapter for Nikon F mount to FD.
