Yes, such adapters do exist (see the above referenced article), but they aren't very good and they are inconvenient to use.
Unless you have a very special (expensive) FD mount lens (like an FD 85/1.2 or 500/4.5) the results you'll get simply won't justify the effort and inconvenience and loss of speed and quality of using an adapter. |
