I Love Canon FD/FL Lenses! I have a Sony A7Sii that I use for making films and shooting photography. I'm getting ready for a trip to Tokyo and wanted to a 35mm street lens to capture my experiences as I explore. Canon FD/FL lenses give you a sharp image, shallow depth of field and an awesomely dreamy look. While I've only tested this lens, it seems to work great, the focus is smooth, the aperture wheel clicks nicely and the image is nice and sharp. I'm excited to start shooting!
All in all a great vintage lens if you don't mind busy bokeh. Great value fast lens, but the bokeh is busy and nervous more often than not. Still, sharpness is excellent, and ƒ/1.4 aperture is nice and bright. Contrast is great, too, due to the coatings. All in all a great vintage lens if you don't mind busy bokeh. You can get some smooth bokeh, but it's a challenge.
Canon FD 50mm f/1.4 S.S.C is amazing This Lens has special mechanism to adjust infinity precisely, very comfortable and easy. The aperture diaphragm can be assembled accurately without a mistake, each stop worked as expected. the shape of aperture hole is very closed to circle which makes bubble bokeh. Focusing barrel is connected by inner and outer barrels, the whole progress of re-grease is not easy. After everything was restored, I used a FD-NEX adapter to attach it to sony a7R, the performance is really stunning, it's a bit like my carl zeiss jena 50mm f1.8 zebra, but has better color rendering ability because of the S.S.C coating. I really like it.
