I guess the f/2.8 was for the rangefinder? |

Thank you for this information. I recently re-found my AE-1 non program and the 3.5 macro complete. I did not realize how good a lens it is. I'll have to take it out for a drive. |

In the past two weeks, I took a variety of photos (indoor, outdoor, close-up, distant, people, things) with the FL Macro 50mm/3.5 lens mounted on a Canon TL-QL camera body (circa 1968). The latter was the low-budget companion to the FT-QL model.
Results were excellent as always with this combo, despite some previous mishaps to the equipment (some wispy fungus in lens, front lens rim dented, dead meter in camera). As long as it's not really dark out, I find this very easy to focus.
By the way, if you buy this lens after a long storage period in its original leather case, check the glass carefully for fungus! Out in the field, moisture and spores tended to get into the case and promote fungal growth.
