Bayonet mount lenses on a Canon DSLR Screw Mount

10 years 2 weeks ago #356893 by Phillip-Bennett
I Just purchased my Canon T3i, and while I am having fun with my  kit lens (18-55mm) as well as my zoom lens (75-300mm f/4-5.6III lens) I am looking to pick up some older used lenses to use with my camera. I am finding a lot of older used lenses, however they are all bayonet mounts.  Is there a conversion ring that will allow these older mounts to mount to my Dslr? 

Thank you

Phil

Your subject line is a bit confusing.  Are you asking about using older Canon lenses on a Canon DSLR ? Or just any other mount lenses on it ? Your Canon DSLR ( and older Canon manual focus cameras excluding the interchangeable lens rangefinders) are all EOS mount or breech lock mount, not screw mount.... There are adapters that will allow you to use older manual focus lenses on your camera, but there will be limitations... I shoot Nikon, so maybe a Canon user will chime in to give you a little more guidance...

I'm not quite sure what you mean. I think I am interested in the same thing and have a few FD lenses I would like to use on my Canon 60D. I have ordered a $30 converter from e-bay and will have a play with that when I receive this. There is other information around have a look here. [url=http

Yeah no doubt, which is why I use them.
I am guessing that you are wanting to use screw mount lenses on your Canon with an adapter. I would venture to say no it is not possible. Or if it is possible using them would be such a pain that it would take the fun out of it.
