I picked up one today for $20 in mint condition. I know it's the low end FD, but I can't come up with any sample pictures.
If you have any pics taken by this lens I would like to see a sample.
Must be LBA I don't own a Canon camera. 
Well I do have some t mount lenses with Canon adapters, and I was thinking of picking up an AE1.
Must be CBA kicking in I haven't bought a camera in over a week. 
Keeper or just resell it. Let me know what you think.

You know, mo, I was going to tell you - I came across a Mamiya lens in a pawn shop last week and remembered that you had those adapters. It was a great looking lens, but they wanted quite a lot for it.

Thanks Rolf, I will keep an eye out for an A1. I will probably buy the Cam first then sell the lens. I like to at least shoot some with a lens before I sell them.
Mo, if you buy the adapters first that gives you a reson to buy the lenses.

I ordered a FD EOS thin adapter and received it today. SO I tried it out on my Canon EOS 10D.
So Here it is Canon FD NEW style 135 f3.5 on EOS 10D with thin glassless adapter.
I can only post one pic because my battery died after this. I really need to remember to order a couple backup batteries.
Comments are welcome, laughter is okay too. Shot is cropped but no PP.

Well I have the Canon 135mm f3.5 Breech and it's a good lens. One day I'll have to compare it with my Meyer, Pentax, Hexanon, Yashica and Vivitar 135s to see what the differences are.
Don't use 135mm lenses much but this shot I like...you might have seen it before and noticed the busy background.

I can't get a sharp shot out of it. This is the best I've done so far. Handheld and no PP. Focus point is the bee.

hi Walter - did you mount the glass adapter again or not?
just attach the lens and hold it - try to focus by moving your body rather than focusing ...

Stan, are you a part time photography magician?! That flower pic is fantastic!
Excalibur - That's a great film shot too, you nailed the focus (not easy when a swinging tyre is involved!) and there's loads of contrast.
Walter - I agree with Stan, get shot of the glass adapter! And beg, steal or borrow a Sony Nex

..thanks and with your Excellent close up I think we have confirmed the Canon is at the very least a good lens.
Prices were mentioned and I bought a FTB that needed a CLA, breech lock 50mm (with some fungus) 28mm, and 135mm, and a set of close up lenses...all for £10.

Great shots guys. I will try again tomorrow a storm rolled in.
I hope to get a Sony Nex in the next 6 months. Hopefully nothing will happen and I will be able to save the money.
The adapter I'm using has no glass. It is one of the thin adapters 2MM thick. With this lens, maximum focus distance is around 8 feet. I think if i continue shooting with the 10D I will have to buy a viewfinder magnifier.

Shot about a 1/2 hour ago. Forgot to set the ISO higher. Just ran out of time and the bee wouldn't cooperate.
Shot is cropped with a little bit of sharpening no other PP.
I just don't like this lens, or it dosen't like me.
I know my shots that I posted are user error, but this lens just dosen't seem to work well on a 10D for me.

Looks like you back-focused just a tad, Walter. If it's looking sharp in your viewfinder, it might be your camera's focusing screen. Many of Canon's APS-C sensor sized cameras have focusing screens that are optimized for slow lenses and the result is focusing errors with mf lenses that have faster apertures than f/4 or so. One way to get around this problem is to use Live View, but I don't believe the 10D has this feature.

erm Maybe the Canon 135mm f3.5 is not specifically designed for close up work...quite a few Tamron or Vivitar zooms are good at close ups and going very cheap if you don't wont to buy and expensive macro/close up prime.
I've taken a few close up shots yesterday with my Canon, but as you know with film you have to wait till the end of the roll and you might have thrown away your Canon by then

| Looks like you back-focused just a tad, Walter. If it's looking sharp in your viewfinder, it might be your camera's focusing screen. Many of Canon's APS-C sensor sized cameras have focusing screens that are optimized for slow lenses and the result is focusing errors with mf lenses that have faster apertures than f/4 or so. One way to get around this problem is to use Live View, but I don't believe the 10D has this feature. |
Could be my eyesight too.I wear glasses to read with.A viewscreen magnifier would help some I think. I've thought about an aftermarket focusing screen. I'm just not sure if it's worth it.
This lens is a little harder for me to use then some of my other 135's.
I'm planning on saving for a Nex or a G1 so I can use my MD and FD lenses the right way.
It's kinda hard to really test a lens when your limited to 8' max focus distance.

With this lens and adapter I'm limited to 8' so the type of shots I can take are limited. I have lenses that I can do macro with, but what I'm trying to do is work my way thru all my lenses to see what stays and what goes.
I would be interested in seeing your close up shots when you finish the roll.
