  • Canon M and FD & MD Problem.

    Posted by Wilfredo Suarez on October 22, 2013 at 12:36 am

    Hey COW community,

    I recently purchased a Canon M in hopes of lightening up my everyday carry-camera
    while still having a flexible and fully functional workhorse camera. The Ability to use
    not only the rest of Canon’s EF lens catalog but also use older FD, MD, and even the Russian
    Helios lens drew me in.

    ONLY PROBLEM IS:
    When I attach a FD lens to my FD to M adaptor then attach that to the camera, the preview looks great, but the camera itself doesn’t allow me to snap a photo, or record video. I haven’t been able to figure out a way around this. Any help or advice would be GREATLY appreciated. I know others have figured this out, i’ve seen test videos of folks using their Canon M’s with FD leses & Rokkor lenses.

    Thanks in advance!
