This is a test shot for a Canon FD 50mm 1.4 at f8.
This is a coffee cup 104 L lens, model EOS 5D (about 1 inch long) and some USB drives molded as lenses.
This has a modified FD to EOS adaptor attached. This is connected to a Canon EOS 7D with built in flash. Hand held. The lens has a toothpick leaving the aperture release lever locked and manual Aprture enabled.
I took my lens, I then enabled Manual Aperture (by pushing in the pins and twisting the back around like this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=juGX1XyZ6WI
I then used the toothpick method to leave the lens in a state where I could change aperture from the lens aperture ring

I then purchased an FD to EOS adaptor with glass inset to allow focus at infinity, Focus confirm chip.
I found that with manual aperture set, I could not use the FD to EOS adaptor as rotating the back of the lens exposed little metal lugs that prevented the FD to EOS adaptor mating. If I rotate everything back, the adaptor fits but at a stuck aperture I can't change.
I then used a hacksaw to cut additional grooves into the adaptor to slide over the newly exposed metal lugs and got it to mate.
As this removed the ability for the adaptor to stay attached (It would not lock on), I then had to use cloth tape to hold the lens and adaptor together.
Now I can attach my lens to the EOS camera. I can set the Aperture via the dial, I have infinity focus and focus confirm but this was a lot of work just so I could get Manual Aperture.
The default behaviour without the manual mod is either wide open or almost closed with an inability to be changed.
This is a test shot and I can see that the image is sharp.
This seems to work at every Aperture above the first 2 stops from wide open (In the first 2 stops it is fuzzy and blurry)

For discussions.
The male portion of the FD-EOS adapter slips over the FD mount, epoxied in place. Permanent black marker was used to cover the scuffs in the aluminum.
The silver button on the side of the lens is the release for the tripod turret. It's a simple catch with three locking positions at 0, 90, and 180 degrees.
There are two screws on the side of the lens near this button. DO NOT remove these, you will have a hell of a time trying to reassemble the button catch mechanism. (I know I did.)

Testing an old 85MM 1.2 FD lens...
The adapter degrades the image quality too much for my taste... =[

A solid-performing wide-angle lens is the perfect addition to any Canon FD-Mount system. It is compact, has excellent image quality and, with the new style release, is easy to take on and off with one hand.
