Did I see canon have a new body out that will take the older FD lenses as well as EF & EF/s?
Don't think it was an SLR but something smaller.

They have just released in Japan the eos m2 which will take fd lenses via an adapter with no glass we are still on the original eos m but it is very cheap at the minute and will take fd lenses with an adapter with no glass
 
I have an EOS-M series 1 and yes, it does work very well with FD lenses. However, not all of my FD lenses work the same. For example my FDn 28mm f2.8 will only adjust the aperture by turning the lock ring on the adapter, it won't adjust by using the aperture ring on the lens.

I also have a number of M42 fit lenses, which work perfectly. In fact, I have a Vivitar 28mm f2.8 M42 lens, which is far superior to the 28mm FDn in every respect.
 
The market is booming for legacy lenses like Canon's FD series. They will fit any mirrorless camera with a simple adaptor, so there are loads of potential customers if you decide to sell your lens.

I was thinking of buying one a short time ago for my XT1 and I seen two go on ebay for £165 & £200 respectively. I cleaned up my watch folder over the weekend otherwise I would have linked sales.
