I bought a small collection of stuff recently which includes a 28mm s.c and 135mm s.c. These are two prime lenses which I'd like to use. I'm curious to know...
In most cases there really is no differance their were a few changes in formula that resulted in a slightly better lenswhen they changed from the breech ring...
That's good to know. Thanks for the info. By the way, I found a Tokina SD 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 on e-bay recently and, remembering your recommendation, I snapped...
That's funny in the middle of going nuts dealing with the invitation to my daughters wedding last night I finally got a chance to check the items I was...
... I actually didn't know there was a 28mm in S.C. Is it f/2.8? The 135/2.5 is one of my all-time favorites, a wonderful lens, and it was never produced...
Yeah, it's 28mm f/2.8 and a 135mm f/3.5. Though I do wish it was f/2.5 as I have read some good things about it here. I should keep my eye out for one......
Good advise from Ken and Mark. I'll also offer a view counter to Mark's... the FDn versions are smaller, but not necessarily better in terms of corrections and...
I asked my sister, who is an optical engineer about single coating vs multi-coating and how that impacts the image quality. She told me that a particular lens...
... Very interesting.. I'm realizing that the 28/2.8 that Simon is mentioning is the only lens I can think of having heard of in an SC and an SSC version...

OK to counter Eric, the 200mm f2.8 IF is only available in nFD the best of the Canon zooms are only available in nFD. Personally I NEVER thing of them as two...
Funny you should say that as I was just thinking to myself, I wonder if I can actually do these lenses any justice given the lack of time I've been giving to...
Thanks for the clarification, Mark. I was getting a different message from your original post; that as shooters we should be worrying about those slightly...
Hi Guys, Another question for you. Is there any special trick to photographing throug glass display cabinets. example; wildlife, exotic animals etc. Cheers, ...
Hey, guys, I spoke to a gent named Peter LeGrand today who has a list of FD gear for sale. I found him on an obscure for-sale page via a Google search. I had...
Clean the spit and snot off the outside then place the lens directly against the glass as if the glass was a filter that way it will have the least effect on...

Mark, Sounds like a good plan, but I will just have to tell the animal to stand still long enough, I do understand what you say and I will give it a try on my...
This is what you do: Get a rubber lens hood, get close to the display cabinet so that the hood touches the glass, almost like a suction cup. This will keep ...
Dennis; It's a two element close up supplementary lens. Put it on the front of any lens it fits. Leave the lens at infinity focus and focus by moving the...
