Hi all, a little while ago I was able to get on the cheap an older Canon F-1 in beaten up/as-is condition but it actually works just fine so I'm kind of trying to collect a lens or two to use with it. I got an old 135 Canon breech-mount that fits just fine already. Never shot Canon much before this but always wanted to try an F-1 and a few lenses. Recently though I picked up a 50–1.8 FD lens and it's in beautiful condition and all indications are it should mount on my F-1 but for some reason I can't get it to mount. Please see the photos of my F-1 and the lens I just bought. There seems to be a little metal tab inside the lens mount that is not allowing me to fully mount and twist the lens into the body. I do not mean the tab adjacent to the red dot at the 12 o'clock area on the lens, I know that one lines up with the notch on the body mount I mean the second one on there at about 2-3 o'clock next to the internal red dot on the lens. Suggestions or enlightened please?
