Can my Canon Rebel XSi 450D use Manual SLR lenses?
I've heard I can buy an adapter to use my manual slr's lenses with my dslr Canon Rebel XSi. If so, where can I get these adapters?
It would have been helpful if you had told us what type of lenses you had, i.e. what fit.
If you were using tamron t2 type MF lenses then with the appropriate adaptor they would operate as normal, excpet for a focal length convervsion of approx 1.6x (beacuase of the cropped sensor)
If you are using Cannon FD, Pentax K, Nikon F, Minolta MD or similar then the good news is that there will probably be an adaptor to fit.
Thats where the good news kind of ends:
-The lens will be subject to the afforementioned 1.6x crop. Makes the lens more tele, which kills wide angle optics.
-The lens will either lose infinity focus, or IQ will be degraded by a conversion element.
-This element and the physical width of the adaptor will further increase the effective focal length conversion.
-You will need to focus manually, which isn't easy on a rebel for a few reasons: No split prism, small pentamirrors, darker lightbox, you should still get focus confirmation though.
-You will need to control aperture at the lens, and will need to use stop down metering, which will further darken the viewfinder, so focus first, expose and check depth of field second.
-The lenses may have uncoated internal elements, this is a particular problem with the back element, as it can reflect light back off of the sensor causing 'ghosting'.
All in all, unless you have exceptional quality MF lenses I wouldn't bother adapting them. They will strangle the ease of use and image quality of the 450D.
