Recommended Posts

Let's see what you saw through those Canon FD, FDn, FL and R lenses. Please share your images.  Exposure details are fun and appreciated by all but not necessary. If you are not sure about how to do this do the following:

1. Resize your image to around 1100 plus or minus 100 or so pixels on the longest edge with your photo editing software.

2. At the bottom of the message box click on choose files...

3. Go to the folder with the image you want to upload and click on "Open"

4. Then click on "Submit Topic" at the bottom of the message box.

It's just that simple. And it can be from any date. 🙂

Canon R5 with Canon FD 100/F2.0 lens.  Wide open (as it was meant to be shot!)

Bit of a backstory ... I wanted to prove to some photography friends that older glass can be just as good -- certainly for Web posting! -- as modern glass, assuming the lighting wasn't tricky.  (I admit modern coatings help in complex lighting situations.)

So I took this FD 100/F2.0 to India in February and shot my friend with it.  I ended up leaving it on for another hour, stopping it down to F4 for some DOF and to forgive some focusing errors.  It worked great.  

But these two are shot wide open.

 

Sarnath, India.
