Hmmm, kinda starting to doubt myself.
You're better of asking on Mflenses.com

It's fd, not worth it for a canon dslr. Adapter needs a piece of glass to make up the difference in flange distance. Decreases optical quality. Pick up an ae-1 and shoot real megapixelz with dat beast!

Already have a 200mm FD, sorry. I rarely shoot anything past 50mm anyways.
