I bought an adaptor some time ago for using old Canon FD-series lenses with my Olympus PEN E-PL2 Micro Four Thirds. Then a few days ago, I bought an f/1.4 50mm (prime, from back that was standard) lens potentially older than I am to put it all together.
It arrived today. Here are the requisite selfies.
I love the analog focus (no autofocus possible anyways). I love seeing the focus distances on the ring, and setting the aperture there, too. I really love how much light this puppy sucks in. All these were with no flash — just mild incandescent lighting in our dark-as-a-cave living room at ISO 800 and 1/40th of a second. Probably f1.4, but who nose knows?
Wow! Looks great!
You’re right, that baby PULLS in some light!
Very nice!
Sporting a little facial hair there too, eh?
Looks good on ya.
Thanks on all counts, Snooker! Looking forward to lots of indoor use with it.
Very nice. I have one of those but with food photography, I’m hunting for a deal on a 35mm.
I’m confused. You have one of what? You’re looking for a deal on a 35mm what? (film camera? SLR? P-n-S? Just a lens?)
This lens is from old 35mm Canon cameras from the 1970s. From what I’ve read on Wikipedia, it might be older than I am.
