Nice video showing how Canon makes its camera lenses

Here’s a pretty nice three-part video of how Canon makes its camera lenses.

How to Use Minolta Lenses on Canon EOS bodies

Here’s a site, http://digitalrokkor.altervista.org/ that explains how to use those Minolta lenses that we horde on newer Canon digital bodies.

Unfortunately the site seems to be a little dated as far as the bodies they cover, but it does show the conversion necessary. This is really interesting stuff.
