Canon 55mm Camera Lens
For photography enthusiasts, the Canon has always been one of the top choices. Financial terms of technique and the 55mm lens is quite reasonable choice for you. Here I present to you a 55mm lens for Canon:
Adapting a Canon FL 55mm f1.2 to EOS EF camera mount.
I Picked up a Canon FL 55mm f1.2 with the intent of converting it to an EF mount for EOS system. I documented the process, except for the element cleaning...
First off is to strip the lens of its FL/FD mount and the auto aperture apparatus. Remember to save the three screw that mount the auto aperture mechanism to the lens body.

I used an M42 to EOS adapter for the EF mount.
Determine where the TOP part of the adapter is when mounted to an EOS camera, so the lens is upright when mounted to the camera. (marked here with a sharpie)
Use the removed auto aperture mechanism as a template by marking the mounting screw holes on the underside of the M42 adapter.
Mark and drill holes for the mount screws.
Remove the A M aperture select ring. Do so carefully as there is a tiny ball bearing located between the lettering on the ring and the lens barrel. The tiny bearing is held in friction with the removed ring by the tiny spring seen below.
Use the A M aperture select ring as a template for a 1/16th inch thick spacer to fill the space between the EF mount and the A M aperture select ring, when the lens is reassembled.
Reattach the A M aperture select ring with ball bearing in place. Attach your EF mount to the lens barrel an trim up the spacer you made. De-bur the area around your mount screws so as not to damage your camera.
Attach it to the camera and you are ready to go. Have fun!
