Canon Digital Cameras Manuals
can I use older canon lenses from a manual camera with the newer digital SLRs?
I have two Sigma lenses made for Canon, that were bought in 1981. Will they work on the Canon 40d or 50d?
The distance to the focal plane is what determines the ability to use a lens with an adapter and still have the full range of focusing. The EF lenses used by EOS have a distance of 44mm while the FD lenses have a distance of 42mm. This is why the other responder is saying that a non-optical adapter would mean you could not focus to infinity. That can be either entirely or somewhat (depending on the lens) circumvented by using the depth of field provided by stopping down a couple of f-stops so while it is an inconvenience it does not have to be a show stopper.
Here is a $50 optical adapter from Adorama that has the required optical element and doubles as a macro extender with the optical lens removed.
