I have mine only partly EF munt converted at the moment - so far no problems.
Quite small for a 135mm/2.0.

I think I remember some CA - but even the much newer Nikon DC 105 and 135mm/2.0 have at least LoCA (longitudinal color aberrations).

I like mine. I use an adapter on my Sony A7. Nice bokeh...a little busy sometimes depending on what's there. Sharp lens and nice to have the wide aperture.

Some CA on bright edges, but can be corrected in photoshop, etc.

Long focus throw (compared to my rangefinder lenses).

Focusing at f/2 can be a challenge.

A bit heavy.

These were made with the 135/2.

Nothing wrong with that.

Canon nFD 135mm/2.0 or the Canon EF 135mm/2.0?
I suppose the later.

It is, according to the exif in her flickr photo stream. Beautiful photos, though.

I haven't used my FD 135/2 enough to make up my mind about it. It has fewer color issues on the a7 than my Nikon AIS 135/2 did on my DsIII and it seems sharper in the center wide open. It's certainly not at its best at MFD, but give it some room and it can almost keep up with the EF L.
