CANON FD 135mm 2.8 MACRO

<p>Just wondered what the general opinion of this is.</p>

<p>Never heard of it. Vivitar made a 135mm f/2.8 Close Focusing lens, in FD mount, that is very good. Perhaps you mean Canon FD 100mm f/4 Macro or the FD 135mm f/2.8 short telephoto.</p>

<p>It doesn't show up in any of the lists of Canon produced lenses. Perhaps you're thinking of a third partty lens in an FD mount. As Louis said, the Vivitar 135/2.8 CF is an excellent lens.</p>

<p>FD compatible. my italian isnt to good!</p>

<p>This lens is a rebranded Makinon lens. Makina was a run-of-the-mill third-party lens manufacturer. It is not a true macro lens, but rather a standard lens with an extended helicoid for closer focusing.</p>

<p>Thanks for your time. I havent checked yet but will. I ended up looking at the lens above not because it was presenta but as a comment made by a long time photographer who had what he remembered as the above configuration for fd but a sigma ys. However I am not sure if he meant old fd mount.</p>

<p>I wouldn't bid on it. Even if it was any good, which I doubt, the price is much too high for such a lens. These are the things that you normally get for 5-10 bucks from the grab box!</p>

<p>I came to same conclusion. There are more interesting 135mm lenses around.</p>

<p>If you really are looking for a 135mm macro, I can highly recommend the Vivitar. Just look for the Vivitar 135mm f/2.8 with a 62mm front filter size. Mine is an amazingly sharp lens. Since being "discovered," however, they've become rather pricey. But considering they're a great macro lens, the prices you find them at is about inline with the demand.</p>

<p>Thanks for this. I already look for old vivitars but had forgotten this. The macro would be useful as i like to use a tele to do this! I have a vivitar adjustable macro as well. Interesting combo maybe!</p>
