Thanks for the replies. I think I will opt out of the FD lens that I was originally looking at. It sounds like the quality will not be worth the hassle of trying to find the other parts that I am needing it for. I really appreciate all the responses again. I am glad I asked before buying. It saved me from my high hopes turning into heartache and frustration.
Danpen... the links are not working for me. I get that wonderful error 404 file not found.
Silkstone... you mentioned extension tubes. Would this also consist of a converter? This is what I found on
Amazon
What brands are recommended? I definitely am wanting something with metal connections.
