Shirozina Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 No as the flange distance is wrong. Better to trade your Speedbooster for an EF version and then convert your CY lenses to EF with adapters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to adapt to EF with Edmika adapter. Pretty easy to do, will cost 75dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirozina Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 What's so special about the FD 17mm that it's worth adapting it for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most vintage ultrawides aren't. But it's got super low distortion and can look nice depending upon what your going for. I'd say it's best on full frame though, kind of pointless on APSC or at least not that special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enny Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Instead of spending money on new booster what do you think about Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 18mm F4. Looking for a wide angle lens or Tokina 17mm F/3.5 Lens For Contax C/Y i have about 600 dollars to spend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweak Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 You can get the 17mm FD pretty cheap sometimes. I think it's still one of the better vintage SLR ultra wides I've tried, there isn't many of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
