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

Steve, my understanding is that 'some' tele FD lenses can be used with this converter and the EOS1 series.  Never tried it, haven't seen anything much about it.  And--of course, you would have to lose AF since there would be no 'connectivity' as far as I can see.

Then again--I'm not even sure this will work with series other than the 1 since the mirror box, etc. is different on the XT to accomodate the EF-S lenses.  Not sure how this converter really would work with them.

  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.
