Canon FD Lens Aperture Lock

A quick follow-up on the “Old Canon Lenses” vlog I posted a few weeks ago…

Those over-exposed pictures really bothered me and I realized that the aperture blades in the lens were not moving when I moved the ring.

Canon FD aperture blades will lock at 5.6 if you don’t manually unlock them or make sure you have an adapter that has an unlocking mechanism. The K&F Lens Mount Adapter does have this feature.

Even though I figured out the issue, I am not sure if these manual lenses are for me. But I am learning more.

This video also has detailed instructions on how to unlock Canon FD aperture blades:
