canon lens adaptors? the thing is im new at this...and I have been looking for a lens for my camera..i recently bought a canon eos 1x lite...it is compatable with most ef lens and accesories...or though im told...but what I was wondering is if I can buy some kind of an "adaptor" so that I could use other canon accesories..i have found a really nice mf mount lens for a good price and wanted to buy it if I could use it...

Yes, there are some FD lens to EOS body adapters. Generally not worth the bother, except maybe for macro work. The EOS cameras have a longer lens flange to film/image sensor distance than the FD bodies. Thus, using an FD lens on an EOS body loses infinity focus (not a problem for macro use) unless the adapter has optical correction elements. Adapters with the correction elements necessarily act as a 1.26x teleconverter, and there is a loss of optical quality. The adapters cannot enable aperture control by the EOS body, so the lens can only be used in stop-down metering mode.
