freaklikeme Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · 24L FD mount Does anyone know what the deal is with this lens? KEH is asking about 500 bucks more than you'd get for a good copy of a EF mount mark I. Adorama has one going for about a grand. Is the lens just so very rare it can demand these prices, or is there some sort of magic in the glass? Jul 06, 2009 at 04:00 AM

JohnJ Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · 24L FD mount I had the FD 24/1.4 SSC Aspherical quite a while ago, back in the film days, and it is nothing special optically but it was certainly a special lens for it's time. I always found it a bit too soft wide open which to my way of thinking is the whole point of this kind of lens anyway. I don't know what changes there were between the FD(n) 24 L and the SSC Aspherical, maybe it's the same lens just with Canons new fangled 'L' marketing. http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/canon/fdresources/fdlenses/earlyfdlenses/24mmfd.htm JJ Jul 06, 2009 at 04:09 AM

Nope. I was looking for a 55 f/1.2 SSC or a 50L FD for a friend and I just happened across the two 24s. The prices just struck me as odd. Jul 06, 2009 at 06:02 PM
