I have a lot of Canon superb FD lenses and want to use it on Canon EOS 10D body. I also have several Canon/Nikon cameras for my daily work. I tried to use adapter with optical seem not effective well except macrophotography. Seem the adapters were not good way to resolve with FD's 42mm to EOS' 44mm. Canon is guilty for stupid designed to prevent anyone to use FD lenses and create lousy EF series lenses that provide a lot of breakdown due electronic parts and cheap platic instead of brass or metal items and of course, they became more and more greedy to make money.
My question is, if it possible to alter EOS 10D body mount and mill some metal out by 2mm off and use FD mount from old camera into the 10D, remove stupid electrical contacts out of way and put black coated plate to close the hole. My concern is focus with focusing screen and eyepiece may not able to work proper because of different image angle between FD and EF?
Any suggestion?

Title: Making a Canon FD Lens to a Canon EOS Body Adapter
Weblog: Camera Hacker
Excerpt: My uncle gave me his old Canon T50 with some lenses. It doesn't fit my 20D because it's a different lens mount. I was thinking that I can take an EOS body cap and the rear cap from one of the FD lenses to make an adapter. I googled this and found out that someone did it, but when I tried it, the epo . . .
