Stan aka Trifox recently converted the mount on my FD 85mm 1.8 SSC. Quite apart from the challenges which the lens presented, he kept raving on about the colours which the lens produced. Since I got it back it's been on my 5DII all the time.
See what you think

It's a shame it's one less for us FD mount users to use. _________________ Casual attendance these days |

Oh tell me about it. I can't now use the lens on any of my Canon 35mm bodies - cough cough - unless I can find a reverse adapter to take it back to FD mount from EOS.

And besides - yeah! - I have still unpacked a film scanner which will take MF negatives. I had a 35mm scanner but to be honest I was happier keeping the camera shop sweet by paying them a paltry amount to scan my 35mm negs to CD and then uploading them electronically, far, far happier than scanning my own negs. So I sold that scanner. Trouble was, they'd made such tut! tut! noises about the time taken to scan 120 format negs that I just new they didn't want to take on that job. So my mf films come back developed with small prints.
Then in my local freecycle group came up this posting for a scanner which takes 120 negs, and it was free and I won it.
How's that for the best of both worlds? _________________ I used to think digital was fun but then I discovered film, then I found old lenses and then, eventually I found rangefinders.

some are even using an enlarger in a darkroom and producing B/W prints with smelly chemicals _________________ Canon A1, AV1, T70 & T90, EOS 300 and EOS300v, Chinon CE and CP-7M.

This is the very first point that catched my attention:#1, #2, #4 & #5 pics. The #6 shows some "japanese old style" bokeh, which comes as a bonus,
Good lens, indeed,
Cheers,

I have a Nikkor 105 2.5 (sonnar design) which is very close to two 135 Excellent, the EF 2.0 and FD 2.5. So I want 85, not sure if I will like a different bokeh of these lenses. But I guess it converted to EOS / EF if I do not like it I can sell very easy. If anyone can upload pictures with the FD 85 1.8 help me.
