[Konvas] cine Lomos on EOS cameras

[colcam at aim.com]

 There is (or was) a 1.4x teleconverter offered that allowed the FD and FL lenses to be used on the EOS body and reach infinity-- EOS on the rear, FD on a shortened front, they were made in China and still show up on eBay every once in a while.

Yeah, the Canon FD lenses will not focus to infinity on EOS bodies, which sucks 
because you can get some great FD lenses on Ebay for quite cheap, most likely 
for the exact reason they can no longer be used with modern cameras.
 
About getting OCT18 lenses on an EOS body it sounds interesting. Maybe it would 
be an easier task than the OCT19 ones? What is the flange distance for OCT18?

I wished I could get a few of my OCT18 mounted LOMO primes on the front, but at 
least, much like Olivier's Nikon lens collection, I have other options with my 
Soviet-made M42 and Pentacon Six mounted lenses.

I have some older Canon FD lenses as well, but I've read that they won't be able 
to focus to infinity on EOS cameras. Can anyone confirm or deny that?
