Fits really well, creates a nice solid mount with little to no loose connection ensuring focus pulling is never shakey

The adapter works. I purchased for my Canon EOS 80d, to try using 2 of my father’s old FD lenses, a 35mm lens and a telephoto. The adapter does its job fine. There is a flare/glare as others have noted but im a novice and that doesnt bother me. I just adjust my angle slightly away from the flare but i can see how professionals wouldnt like it. Also, you will lose several f-stops and will have to compensate with your cameras settings otherwise your photos get overexposed. I had to adjust my shutter speed so slow just to compensate to the point where i couldnt see the photo on the LCD screen, I had to wait for the photo preview to see how the exposure turned out, then readjust until i got what i was happy with.
Turns out my old lenses werent that great and in the end some old lenses may not be worth trying to use. Make sure your old lenses are worth the trouble.
Id say if you have expensive, good quality lenses and you want to try it out, for the $55 CAD i paid, im happy i tried it out.
Otherwise, you may just end up buying new lenses.

I got this adapter to be able to use lenses from my old Canon camera from the 80s with my DSLR Canon Rebel iOS and it works perfectly. I really recommend this for any other amateur photography fans that don't want to spend thousands of dollars on modern super high-quality lenses when you are just learning about how different types of lenses work. After I realized this adapter works perfectly I just went around buying used old lenses from the 80s and now have a full gamma.

So there I was, facing a digital Canon and a bucket of old Nikkor lenses from my 4-decades ago photo-journo job. What the hell, I thought. Let's put the late '60s 24mm f2.8 on the 50 mega-pixel and see what happens. Well I bet Stanley Kubrick would be proud of the results. I lost the use of auto-focus and exposure control...I'll have to get back to the manual and see how to adjust the shutter speed to match the fixed iris increments of the old glass... but what a gas! I look forward to lots of fun and more shining moments...where's that fire axe when i need it...

Used on my Canon Rebel XTi with some gorgeous old FD glass I had from my other SLRs. Makes images a bit blurry tho.
