Duh, the new eos mount had a whole bunch of technical improvements that called for the necessary incompatability with fd lenses. I bet they still sold fd bodies until the market dried up for them. don't forget there were millions of fd bodies on the second hand market when canon went to eos ( still are lots left even now). jco

Not exactly. I pointed out, as a means of comparison, that Canon abandoned FD lens users within a couple of years of when the EOS came out, with no valid technical reason.
