The item on the left is FD25 Extension Tube. The item in the middle is a "Life Size Adaptor". The item on the right is a 50mm canon lens. I need to know more about this...I can't tell if it's an f1.4 or 2.5 (or variable)...
 
Any information at all about this lens (as well as what the adaptor tube and extension tube does) would be great, especially wondering if it fits a Canon EOS camera...
Thanks!

You have a Canon EOS. Take off a lens and try to put that one on. :D

f1.4 says right there on the aperture ring doesn't it?
Is this a joke post? :D

ISTR that the FD series of Canon lenses (which this appears to be one of) won't fit the EF/EF-S mount of current EOS cameras, but you might want to double-check that...

Sorry, I'm an idiot...It's definitely an f1.4 and this isn't a joke post. I don't have the lens, I was just considering buying it (if anyone could identify whether it fits the EF cameras).

Looks like an FD mount lens.
You CAN build/buy an adapter, but unless the lens is really something special, it's likely not worth it.

The lens looks like an old version of the 50/2.5, but I can't be sure. The fact that there is a life size converter with it supports this, as the 50/2.5 needs the life size converter to go to 1:1 magnification. The fact that the extension tube is labeled FD25 means that it is FD mount and will therefore not fit on EOS cameras. If the extension tube is FD, the lens is probably FD mount as well.
See this page for an overview of the issues with trying to use FD lenses on the EOS bodies. Not impossible, but not always desirable either.

Also if I am right and it is the FD 50mm 1.4 Maunal Focus then it's worth about $25

Canon Lens FD 50mm f/1.4
FD, not EF. The other I can't see well enough in you photos to tell but they have the smae knurled alulminum ring at the base. That would sugest to me that they are FD also. Should work well on your AE1.

Okay, nevermind...thanks for your help everyone.
I looked up the FD 50mm 1.4 and sure enough, that's what it is...
FD 50mm 1.4
The set of 3 items is on Ebay for $25 so I thought I'd humble myself here and find out what it was...
