Re: [Digital BW] www.OpenRAW.org needs your help or is it the other way around

Can I ask a dumb question. Is there any way to get the Canon FD 
lenses to work with the Digital Rebel X?  I have a number of them and 
some are really nice lenses.  A second dumb question:  do you compute 
dof for the nominal focal length of a lens or its actual focal length 
given the digital camera's sensor?  I assume it is the latter.
