Nice pictures! The FE 28 looks good. Still debating if I will get one...
I do like the FDn 28/2 a lot though.
I\'m with you on that - I think its a under-rated lens - the FD 35 F/2 the same...

Haven\'t tried the FD 35/2 yet but I\'m keeping an eye out for one. I suppose you are referring to the concave version?
I have the so-called new FD 35 F/2, and I find it a fantastic performer - sharp into the corners from about 5.6 and with very little purple fringing. It\'s very similar overall to the 28 F/2 though I find the far corners on the 28 not quite as good. There\'s an assessment of the 35 F/2 on an A7R at http://erphotoreview.com/wordpress/?p=4364.

Thanks for the info! Will read your link. The far corners are not that important to me, I usually shoot a little wide if possible which leaves me some room to crop extreme corners if sharpness there is critical (which is not that often anyway). I\'m more interested in the rendering/color/bokeh.
I already have a QBM Distagon 35/2.8, a Minolta MC 35/1.8 and a Schneider Retina Curtagon 35/2.8 but the concave FD 35/2 especially seems to have a big following from what I read online.
The FD 24/2 is another one that\'s supposed to be very good an I am keeping an eye out for that too. I have an FDn 24/2.8 which I found a bit disappointing especially compared to the FDn 20/2.8 and 28/2 which are both excellent on the a7 (may be just my copy of the 24/2.8 though since most people seem to think the 20/2.8 and 24/2.8 are very close in quality).
Some old pics and some re-post about wonderful Canon FDn 35mm f/2... especially for bokeh aspect...
