Old Canon FD 58mm f1.2 super-canomatic R worth getting
#5
Quote:That indeed is very cheap, a steal for such a lens. Sharp enough wide open in the center if you are not a (silly?) pixel peeper,  yet a soft and "creamy" character to how it renders. Not unlike the Minolta MC 58mm f1.2, actually. Strong cats eye shapes towards the border.

 

You can not easily mount it on EOS, it will require a mount conversion. On APS-C it then will work fine, on FF it will hit the mirror of your 5D when focussing past 6 meters or so?

 

A nice lens to have if you were to get for instance a very cheap EOS M, with FD to EF-M adapter. Beautifully built lens, full of character:

I would advice you to buy it, just because it is dirt cheap. Then find a body to use it with.
If you are interested I can get it and ship it to you, after Rainer advice I am not interested anymore.
