Anyone know where I can get an adaptor to fit an EF-S Lens to a
Canon EOS 5 AF 35mm SLR Camera

Thanks in advance
 
I'd imagine that there are all sorts of problems.

The first could be that EF-S is APS-C and a 35mm film camera isn't so the lens (being APS-C) may not cover the whole of the film.
Secondly EF-S protrudes a little further into the body so you could stand the chance of the mirror hitting the lens.

I've seen write ups and also Youtube clips showing you how to modify an EF-S lens to fit so if you really want to do this I suggest you Google your way to the instructions but if I had a 35mm film Canon I'd use EF lenses on it.

Good luck.

I doubt it would be worth it, even by the time you adapt the lens or find an adapter since the lens is designed for a smaller image circle (crop sensor) wouldn't the light fall of to the edges be a nightmare?
 
No adapter is possible since the mount is the same and has the same register. Anything in between the lens and camera will cause focusing issues with the lenses e.g. loss of infinity focus.

In the main aps-c lenses on ff (film of digital) will give black edges and corners to images, that's if you can physically mount them in the first place.

In summary, don't do it!
