Can I make my FD lenses fit Nikon?
Discussion
Just been looking at my old canon AE1 kit after reading all the threads about lenses. I remembered I had some lovely kit left to me in my Grandfathers will.
Canon AE1
Canon 28mm FD f2.8
Canon 50mm FD f1.4
Canon 200mm FD f4 (tiny compact lens with slide out lens hood, lovely)
2x converter.
Filter set
Close up kit
etc.
I also found a half used roll of film is still in the camera which is always exciting!!
Question, can I rig anything so I can use these lenses on my Nikon D70 now??

I know you can fix them one way but not the other. Try asking these guys: www.srbfilm.co.uk/index1.html
However, more practically, I don't think they'll be AF lenses and you certainly won't get metering. I think you'd be better to let them go and replace them with modern Nikon AF glass.
