This one has been sitting around my Edixa Mat Kadett for ages, so I thought I'd give it a go on the 5D. I changed the aperture setting twice before the thing got stuck wide open, doh!

So, all shots at f2.8. This lens GLOWS! And the results remind me of the plastic film point and shoot cameras I used as a child Laughing Could be a nice portrait lens on crop though Wink
