Full-Frame Canon FD lens to Canon RF adapter

[Dean Wilson]

@StevenAunan convinced me to give this a try.

The two lenses are Canon FD 50mm f/1.4 S.S.C. (II) released Jun 1973 and a Canon New FD 28mm f/2.8 released June 1979. I use these on my Canon FTb released March 1971.

For this setup my focus was on the forward edge of the cutting block the glass pitcher of flowers is sitting on... 36" from the R5 focal plane. I used the same ISO and only changed the Aperture, then shutter speed. Edited in Lightroom for Camera Neutral for the profile and Auto for edit. Copied edit to all photos.

The first three are from the 28mm lens, f/2.8, f/8 and f/22:

Nice! The colors are lovely. I like the addition of the tape measure. The 50 @ f/1.4 sure is shallow! I'm very interested in how these old lenses compare to the new RF equivalents. I have the RF 50mm 1.8 ($150), and the Canon FD 1.4 and Minolta MD 1.7 50's are on the way ($30 and $45, respectively from Adorama), so I'll do some comparison shots ASAP.

I have Minolta SR-T101 and two SR-T201's (version 1 and 2), two MC 50mm f/1.7 and a MC 135mm f/3.5.

The SR-T201 (version 1), 50mm and 135mm lenses I bought 50 years ago and still use it.
