But still very nice. I have four FD lenses that I can;t get rid of. Maybe I should try them as macro lenses. Hmmmmm....... |

However it's quite good optically. Even Rockwell gave it 4 stars for optics. _________________ BODY:Canon 5DII

I have the same lens, optically it is quite good to me. Because of this thread
I dusted off this lens and did shoot some. I got this lens with Canon A-1(?)
together from my cousin in law, of course they were free.
The above shot was using FD->EF adapter with correction lens,
it seems to me quite sharp even it was at F4 & 70mm (+EOS 5D).
Will test this lens and FD 35/2 (concave front element) without
an adapter someday. Bye till then. _________________ Our Home Page has 18,200 photos in 575 directories today.

I think you may have just convinced me to keep my black Canon AE-1. I've really been wavering on that because most of my lenses are for Pentax or Yashica. I love the camera but this lens was the only one that came with it. From these pics though that lens looks to be really nice. Far nicer than I thought.
I shouldn't. I've pretty much spent what I can afford on the other two kits on getting lenses for those. Having a third camera and lenses for that will be pushing it. But maybe I'll just find an FD adapter for my T-mount and use that now that I've got that lens.
I was hoping to sell that one and get enough money from it for another Takumar or two, but oh well... |

Well some of my lenses might be bad copies, but if you can get other superior zooms for peanuts I'd give the Canon ones a miss, well I don't use mine and that also goes for the Canon fd 200mm f4 as after many tests found a Kiron 80-200mm zoom can at least equal it for sharpness and 3d, but is more versatile. _________________ Canon A1, AV1, T70 & T90, EOS 300 and EOS300v, Chinon CE and CP-7M.

Ofcourse I know what you mean.
But as a freebie, I'm very happy. Maybe it's money value is not much, but usability is. _________________ BODY:Canon 5DII

Into a German Magazine (had forgotten which one into the 80s, perhaps ColorFoto) this FDn 35-70/4 was even by a Hair better than the (very) famous Minolta MD 35-70/3.5 lens - and very sharp, even at F4. So the FD-EF Adapter with correction lens does work nice, it seems? I've figured out that most adapter mounts for Canon (with correction lens) are of mediocre quality, and the lens element isn't even (multi)coated. |
