I've got to figure out image upload on FM. I've got some really great stuff coming from my FD400 2.8 L on my 1D4. May be my favorite lens now, and I have many fine lenses. -Ed Mika
Also, roboticspro, I picked up an FD 300 2.8l locally and I have it focusing to infinity using the EdMika 0.75mm EF-FD adapter and minor reversible optical element recalibration. Search YouTube for EdMika for the instructional video on how to do this.
Fantastic shot sebboh! as always.
By the way I am very curious about the FL 55 f1.2. What is the main character difference with the FD 55 f1.2 SSC (I got one) ? The FD 55/1.2 has a more pronounced bokeh ring compared to Nikon 50/1.2 that makes it's bokeh a bit harsher in some condition.
Canon Fl F 500 5.6 on Nex 5 of gargoyles on top of cathedral in Covington, KY, perhaps largest collection of gargoyles anywhere modeled on those at Notre Dame in Paris.

thanks, and sorry for the late reply - i've been out for a few days.
i've heard from a few people that the FD 55/1.2 SSC is identical optically to the FL 55/1.2 so the difference really comes down to coatings (obviously the FD is better) and mount (the FL is much easier to convert). i'm not sure what the people who told me the designs were identical were basing that off of, could just have been lens diagrams for all i know. i've only ever shot with the FL and it has some pretty hard bokeh rings itself wide open.
No problem.
Thanks for the info.
I asked that because some said FL's bokeh is creamier than the FD So I guess maybe the FL has completely rendering than the FD.

if so the FD must be really uncreamy, because that is the last word i would use to describe the FL's bokeh. maybe i'm more critical of bokeh than most, but when i shoot the FL wide open it's because i don't want cream. if you shoot something at mfd at f/1.2 with a distant background you can get a creamy look i guess. look at the crow shot i posted, that is wide open (same for the driving shot and flower shot) and it is not the smoothest of bokehs even with the distant background.
;( miss the dang beautiful moon today....just wanna try the 800 with 2x extended! But after setting everything up I found out that I left the dang memory card at home (have only 1 for the nex) sign....
But i could see the moon fill the frame by the compo, thou! Gotta give it a try tomorrow! Ahhhh.....still bugging me!
