Hi, I've just started a blog discussing the usage of Canon FD and EF (with preference to FD) on the Nex-7, it doesn't have any ambition of being scientific and autoritative like Photozone.de, just some thoughts and hands-on comparison by a normal user, which might be interesting.
I've started it with a test of the Canon FD 50mm 1,4 against the Sony 18-55 kit lens, the results are quite interesting, and proves what we all knew already: the Nex-7 is penalized by a really bad kit lens, and gets easily smashed by a 40-years old design...

Well, 50mm lenses haven't really been changed much for the last 30 years or so. The Canon EF 50/1.8 II is, I think, also based on an FD design. The peak performance of those lenses is extremely high and the weaker borders are largely cropped on an APS-C body anyway.
Most older FD (tele-) zoom lenses are certainly not quite as sexy anymore.
