Olympus Zuiko 3.5/28:
This little lens is a "hidden gem". It's too slow to be of interest for most users, but it's such a good lens!

I found one!

And here's the replacement for 50L

Excellent. Thanks. Some of that older glass have amazing character (not to mention build quality).

Not truly alternative, but an alternative to Canon

Not me. Sold my 5D for an M8, and boy was that the right decision (for me). Different strokes for different folks.

I think M8 was over-priced at $4500 (or whatever retail price you want to pick), but now that they are moving on the used market for ~$2400, there's some good value there. I won't debate the financial merits of the M8 because that's a losing battle. It is a fun camera to use.

If FD qualifies as Alt (it is Canon after all ...), here is 85L f/1.2 on 5D. Loving this "compact" baby.

Alex - did you modify the 85 FD or is it mounted via adapter (with the integrated optic)?

Modified it. I kept the rear element & everything as it was in the original FD configuration. No infinity focus (yet). Max focus distance is ~10m or so, plenty for portraits.

Pics in the FD 85L thread.

Hey bob

Could you pm me the link to a full size version of that image? Got any wide open portraits or similar with that lens?

Looks great

Zenit Helios 58/F2, 42mm screw mount. It hangs on the down stroke on the 5DM.
It has been so long since I have seen anything with the logo that is on this lens.
I cranked up the black point in Aperture to emphasis the logo.

Why does it have 1,8 and 1,9 markings if it is an f/2.0 lens?

Because the lens shows the distance in ft. I'm surprised it is not metric.

Well, my brother called me, said he had an event he wanted me to shoot for him, so that's an excuse to buy more gear:
