Not bad for a $70 lens. Nice corner to corner sharpness!

Hey, Ash - Nice work.
Can I ask if you had to stop down far to get good corner sharpness? _________________ Canon + Contax + Minolta + Nikon + Olympus + Pentax + Yashica = Adaptall-2 |

To see some figures go to Erphotoreview. FD 24mm and A7 are tested together. |

Very interesting, particularly the link to the OM 24/2.8. _________________ Canon + Contax + Minolta + Nikon + Olympus + Pentax + Yashica = Adaptall-2 |

Yes, the new FD 2.8/24mm is on par with the (equally "new") Minolta MD-III 2.8/24mm. The older Minolta MC-X/MD-I/MD-II 2.8/24mm does NOT perform as well as the nFD 2.8/24 or the MD-III 2.8/24mm (all tests were run on the Sony A7II 24MP FF camera)

On A7, my FDn 24 2.8 performs very well.
I was very much disappointed with the MC 24 2.8 . My sample is never sharp in the corners. I can only recommend this lens for cropped sensors.
I am thinkibg of the MD III . Does the floating element bring an advantage in comparison with the traditonal FDn design? |

All Minolta 2.8/24mm lenses do have floating elements, and so do the Canon new FD 2.8/24mm. They increase performance at small distances, and i would expect both the MD-III and the new FD to perform similarly also at close distances (i have NOT tested them at close distances; this is simply my feeling).
I would go on with the new FD 2.8/28 and NOT change to the MD-III since both lenses do perform almost identically.
