Below you will find some quick tests I have conducted with the NEX-5 and various FD lenses. My brief conclusions (subjective - consider price/performance):
1. Canon FD 28mm f2.8: Very cheap (�20-�40 on ebay) but sharp lens even at f2.8. Colours may require some post processing or creative style. I will replace this lens with the Voigtlander 28mm F1.9 primarily for low-light use (resturants, parties etc).
2. Canon FD 50mm f1.4 SSC: (Paid �85 on ebay) - not as sharp wide open as the 50mm f1.2L but stopped ... NEX-5 and Canon FD (50mm/1.4 SSC, 50mm/1.2 L, 28mm/2.8, 85mm/1.8 SSC) Tests

This is a Canon FD 85/1.2 SSC ASPH that was converted to EF mount by another forum member. It is simply the sharpest lens corner to corner that I've ever seen. The only drawback is that it doesn't focus past about 50 ft. Lens is in EXC++ condition. Glass is clear except for a few dust specks. Cosmetically a few wear spots but nothing serious. Focus is smooth. Aperture is crisp. Includes a focus confirmation chip, B+W UV filter and both caps. This is a one of a kind lens and if it fits your needs, ... FS: Canon FD 85/1.2

Recently, I was looking to obtain the FD Asph holy trinity, but now my priority has changed. I decide to keep the 55/1.2 to use, and sell the 85/1.2 (a bit too long on my E-PL1).

This is a mint copy of this lens. These are going around $900ish for much worse condition. Optically, the lens is clean and clear. Mechanically, it's in perfect condition. Cosmetically, slight (really slight) brassing on the aperture ring. It comes with both original lens caps (front metal lens cap is ... FS: Mint Canon FD 85/1.2 SSC Aspherical

Hi all,
Recently got myself an E-P1 (my first interchangeable lens camera might I add!) and have also bought an FD adaptor (ebay) and a Canon FD 50mm f1.8 to experiment with. All set up and working and taking great shots. My issue though is that I don't appear to be able to change the aperture.
When I "screw" the lens on to the adaptor all the way (Until the button on the lens clicks out) the aperture opens up all the way and twisting the aperture wheel on the lens has no effect. If I only screw the ... Changing aperture on E-P1 with Canon FD adaptor

Just got the E-P1 with the stock 14-42mm zoom lens a couple of weeks ago, after years of Kodak compact cameras. My first camera was a Contax rangefinder style camera from the 1940s so I'm not afraid of manual settings, just a bit rusty though.

It seems like the FD legacy glass is quite a bargain. I have a legacy FD 35-70mm lens already and an FD-> 4/3rds adapter on order. I was thinking of getting:

Canon FD 2.4mm f2.8 (for indoors, lower light)
Canon FD 50mm f1.4 (for low light, general purpose)
Canon FD 135mm f2.5 (portrait and telephoto)

Is this a good range ... Which legacy Canon FD glass for the E-P1 ?

Hi All
Tried out my nikon adaptor out at the park over the weekend with my daughter and sister in law.
My daughters pics are all with the new Nikon 50mm F1.8G and my sisiter in law with the 85mm. I notice a fair bit of purple fringing with the 50mm.
It is also hard to focus with just the rear screen, but great to use with some fast primes.
Cheers
Randall
