FD lens on EF body

Postby spada on Sat Dec 03, 2005 2:19 pm

Hi
Recently I bought a simple thing call EF to FD from other forum ( off locopano) , this thing enable you to use years old FD lens on newer EOS body such as 300D..., I took out my old FD 135mm f2.8 prime and put it on the 20D,this lens is small 52mm , and bingo it works but with some drawback as the adator itself has a piece of glass on it and act as 1.X teleconverter and therefore the lens lose between one to two stop, and the focal lenthg is now 135*1.X , it will work well in manual mode in good light condition.I found that it hard to take picture in full manual mode if the object is moving because I have to constantly turn the focus ring to follw the object, if it goes too fast I have to give up, I think how hard in the old day people still took stunning picture, today I can't, i mostly rely on AF .Below is some pics from FD 135mm lens .

Is it just me or do these almost have a soft focus look to them, especially the first two :? Any PP?

Cute model in the last one :)
