Redrock And Cannon FD
So i've just got a redrock and 80-200 1.4 canon fd lens, but i can't seem to focus! Does anyone know how much the Canon should be zoomed in on the ground glass? Also the focus?

I haven't seen a RedRock in person, but I can image it requires a step-up/step-down ring of some sort to properly fit and provide the correct distance. Did you get one of these rings or something like that specific to a 72mm lens?

Yo Loren. I don't know about the redrock but I have a Letus. You gotta make sure your xha1 is focused on the ground glass before putting the lens on, man. So just zoom the xh all the way so its completely telephoto and then turn peaking on, look through your canon lcd and make sure the ground glass is not spinning. turn it off. Focus it on the ground glass. Then turn on auto focus and tape your focus ring on the canon down. The attach the lens and zoom the canon out so that you barely have the ground glass out of frame. Now, make sure you use a high res monitor to pull focus. You won't be able to tell focus worth shit with the lcd on the canon
