Lens Confusion


Hi again out there. I just recently posted a question about a FD Lens. Now, I was just making sure, can the FL/FD/ and New FD's lenses all be used on my Canon AE-I? Thanks for all of your answers.

  Yes.
The AE-1 is an A-series camera (AE-1, A-1, AE-1 Program, ...) and uses these lenses. See this link for much information on your camera, including operating instructions. FD and New FD lenses are fully compatible, with open aperture metering and autoexposure. FL (and R if you happen across them) lenses can be used, but in manual stop-down metering only.
