chris_tribble Posted December 7, 2016 Share #1 Posted December 7, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) As I've now sold my SL, I have a redundant Canon FD to SL adapter made by an excellent Polish engineering company (see http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/262925-canon-fd-to-sl-adapter-from-poland/). If you'd like it and would promise to make a contribution to a homeless charity such as the BBC / St Martin in the Fields appeal (https://www.smitfc.org/one-off-donation/) or one in your own country, I'll be very happy to send it to you (if you're in the UK I'll cover the postage - it's a good cause!!) PM me if you're interested. Happy Christmas! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_tribble Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted December 8, 2016 And why have you sold th SL?? See comments at http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/267124-whenever-the-new-m-arrives-whos-going-to-buy-one/?p=3161756 I liked some aspects of the SL, but as I didn't want to (couldn't afford to!) buy into the SL lenses, it didn't work for me. Also see: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/267124-whenever-the-new-m-arrives-whos-going-to-buy-one/?p=3162311 Hope this helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighslapper Posted December 8, 2016 Share #6 Posted December 8, 2016 ....... ah ...... the pitfalls of buying a camera and expecting to use it in a manner it was not directly designed for....... anyone expecting it to be an M replacement or substitute may be in for a rather rocky road ...... ...... as a mirrorless high quality AF system built like a tank with the secondary option of using manual lenses ...... well that's a different story altogether. At least you gave it a try before passing comments .... good and bad .... which is more than most on the forum do ..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_tribble Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share #7 Posted December 9, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just to say that the converter has a home. Re the SL itself, thighslapper's points are taken. However, in my own defence I would say that I bought the SL to complement my M system, not as substitute or replacement. It didn't do the job for me. And I would contend that the SL WAS designed to be used with M lenses along side it's native glass. In my experience it has limitations in this application. Happy Christmas! Best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steppenw0lf Posted December 9, 2016 Share #8 Posted December 9, 2016 In my experience any camera has limitations (any camera I have tried until now). For me the SL has the limitations I can best live with. I actually use R and M glass most of the time. Had no SL lenses for many months. I hope you found a system that can give you what you need. Merry Christmas! (maybe a bit early ?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
