this is a superb prime lens - still very cheap and perfect
what I still hate about the canon is their FD mount - that was the total design disaster

I agree. A very under rated lens.
I disagree. Canon FD was the most flexible and accurate mechanical coupling of lens to camera body for exposure control. The rotating breech lock was extremely robust and secure. On the other hand, it was not forgiving of clumsy/ignorant operators. Canon designed the completely compatible "New FD" lenses for them.

+1. I feel exactly the same.
Although now EF-M is out, maybe FD mount will become more popular to the Canon shooters again. _________________ Follow me on 500px |

I've had one for about 30 years, since I had a Canon A1, I've also got the adapter for the NEX. But so far far I haven't used this lens on the NEX I don't know why. I went to look for it in the box, and found that I have two of them!
I shall test one today, as always WolverineX's great pictures shall inspire me. I think I'd just forgot how good this lens is and not bothered about it. _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....
I have loads of stuff that I have to get rid of, if you see me commenting about something I have got and you want one, ask me.

I have a similar situation. I put a 50/1.8 SC and 50/1.8 New FD in a box and now have two SCs and five or six New FDs! _________________ In Search Of "R" Serial Soligors
