I love to mess with old gear that I could knot afford in 1984 when I was poor two striper in the Air Force. Being a long time Canon shooter, I have been on an FD tear. This week I took delivery of a FD 50mm macro, 25mm extension tube, and a FD 55mm 1:1.2 S.S.C.
A week or so ago I received a 500 f/4.5L I am still working the kinks out of that set up, but making progress. Mostly getting the focus right at MFD mounted to an X-E1. Damn narrow DOF at 15 feet! I did have a crappy cheep adapter & a new Metabones FD-FX adapter has fixed some of that problem. At least the IQ is noticeably better, I suspect my cheep ebay adapter was not machined exactly parallel. I should check that someday & see if that was the case.
I suppose I should gather up all this gear & take snapshot of it and post it here, and post a few pictures of my trials and experiments.
My next lens is going to be a 85 1.8 or faster. But I need to recover a bit first. All this talk about a speed booster has go the wheels turning in that direction as well.
I\'d love to find 500/4,5L reasonably priced As for 85/1.8 in Canon FD mount- nFD is at least as good,if not bette, than 85/1.8 FD SSC.
