Canon FD to NEX Adapter

I'm close to pulling the trigger on a FS100 (I'm waiting to see the new 5D which supposedly will come out in October).


I have a few Canon FD lenses from my old still camera that I'd like to use on the FS100.  These lenses are fast, sharp and unlike the newer EF lenses, FD lenses have a physical f-stop ring.  As a bonus, Ducloss will de-click FD lenses for $60-100 bucks, depending on the lens.



B&H sells an adapter for a whopping $212 bucks and Amazon sells one at $30 but I found an adapter on ebay for $20 bucks.  On a still camera FD lenses are normally wide open for focusing and then change f-stop when the trigger is pushed.


These adapters allows you to change the iris manually for use on a video camera.  Now, I can't wait to see the lenses on the FS100...
