Playing with old Canon Lenses

I found a two Canon FD lenses that I bought on ebay a while ago. I wondered if they would work with my Sony E-mount cameras, so I ordered an adapter ring and started playing around.

The lenses:

  • Canon FD 50MM 1.8
  • Canon FD 35MM 2.8

I took pictures indoors and out, and did some talking head video indoors.

My general conclusion is – while it is nice to play with old lenses, the new technology is far superior and makes life so much easier. You can not self-film/vlog with old manual lenses. I also really needed a ND filter outside.
