Full-Frame Canon FD 24mm f/2.8 S.S.C

I took the new-to-me lens for a spin today along the Sacramento River. What I'm finding out about vintage lenses is that Canon's focus peaking works better with some than with others. Edited with DxO Photolab 9 and FilmPack Time Machine. The last photo is the Cornish House near Clarksburg.

I enjoyed looking at these pictures, and especially reading about George Cornish and his life. Very interesting indeed. I delved into FD mount lenses for a while after I bought my EOS R, but eventually sold them. I never owned the 24mm as I never found one at a good price here in Germany. They were always 350€ +. I had the 28mm nFD and liked it, but the image quality of my modern lenses was so much better that I decided to sell it. But, I 100% understand why people like using legacy lenses. There is something special about using the old lenses in my opinion.
Thanks for sharing!
