We've finished work on the new server I told you about, and now the Canon FD FAQL is back up and running. I've decided to locate it in a slightly different...
Thanks again for all who keep this FAQL alive. I just hope MS will keep the FD group archives alive when they take over Yahoo. Maybe a FD links page should be...
I fixed the link on the Yahoo main page (took mine out and replaced it with yours)....so it's working 100% now. Thanks again Miguel. Vladimir Group Moderator...
The BW-72B is the hood for the 28-85mm f4.0 nFD and the 35-105mm f3.5 nFD The BW-72 is the hood designed for the 20mm f2.8 nFD and the 17mm f4.0 nFD If your...
Thanks for answer Mark. Yes, I got it from the list I've posted. But would like to hear other peoples experiences and opinions. To me, it seems that using...
According to my Lens Work (1985), the BW-72B is for the 35-105 only, while the BW-72 is for the 17mm, 20mm, 24/1.4, 20-35 and the 28-85. Try to look though the...
Your right I stand corrected I was going by what I use on my 28-85mm f4.0 nFD and I didn't look it up. I get no vignetting with the narrower hood on that lens....
Hi, Ketil, This is really good advice. I forgot to mention that I've already done that, checking it with a lamp in a FOV, moving it from center to corners - no...
Should be checked with aperture at 22 (and stopped down, of course). I would be surprised if the corners did not exibit a fair amount of vignetting! From 35mm...
I know! But still... Just repeated the test. Even removed protective UV filter from the lens. Pointed it to bright sky, set aperture at 22 in stopped down mode...
It seems that I'm not that lucky after all. I was taking some pics yesterday and was using this combo. Subject was bright and it revealed slight vignetting in...
... Hello, Once this check is made by eye, it should also be made with a film IMHO. I once used a filter that was too thick for the FD 17 mm f/4. My...
Hi, How do I calculate exposure compensation for close-ups with the FD 1:4/200mm Macro? Up to now, I´ve been using the FD 100 Macro with the FD50 extension...
Dieter, Can't remember the information source, but ... the FD 200mm macro looses only one stop at 1:1 close-up, not 2 stops like a non-IF lens would. Hope this...
Dieter, The 200mm Macro did come with a manual and I have one but having just moved here not too long ago, I can't find it. If you watch ebay close they come...
Eric, thanks for the info. I have heard this as well, but I´ve also read soemwhere that the drop at 1:1 is even less (0.7 stops). When "measuring" on the...
Hi Don, many thanks for the links. I´ve looked already at the Rollinger site but he does not have a manual there either. I´ve also been watching ebay since...
I think your best recourse in that case is to work out the table by yourself: point the lens towards a uniform surface (like a white wall) and write down the...
I would suggest not using a uniform surface, because, placing the value within the contrast range of the emulsion will be subjective. Shooting a gray scale...
I might have the manual......I'll check tonight. Vladimir Group Moderator ... having just moved ... they come up there from time ... much treatment of using ...
I don't have the manual...but will get one within the next week and hopefully give to Christian for posting on his web site. I have the manual for the 50mm and...
... See here, one was *sold* recently in Germany for half this price: <http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130182032114> actually I missed...
... I always look at auctions for those converters (there's about one per month), and the final price (967 bucks) isn't surprising at all. A bit higher than...
Me too - for 361EUR - though I don't really need it, since I don't own any of the long, costly FD L lenses, but maybe as a collectible. Still, I am looking...
... Well, you might wait a long time then, cause I am not so much interested in making my 50 1.4 work - but then the 24 1.4 could be worth it... :-) ... Well,...
