Old Master

I have played a little with the Canon FD 55 F1.2 on my Sony. I was surprised the level of sharpness I could get with it. I have only used it at F1.2 so far and thats pretty much what I bought the lens for, Of course at that aperture it has a beautiful bokeh. I found mine priced reasonably and a good investment, or at least that's what I tell my wife.Read full review...

A really solid classic Canon lens

Great, well built lens that can create really beautiful images. At f/1.2 the image is soft but not unusable and has pleasing bokeh. Stopped down it only gets sharper.

The most affordable lens with f/1.2 diaphragm and build quality

This is amzing lens. It's just an astonishing piece of glass in a steel rock-solid jacket. Since it was made convertable to EOS without optical elements and infinity focus lost - it became strong alternate to EF 50 f/1.2 lense. The only converter solution for now is the "EdMika Canon FL 55mm 1:1.2 EF/EOS Conversion Kit" - it was designed specially for this lens and doesn't changes the lens itself.

This lens has it's own no mercy fantastic bokeh, and it is even more than lens - it's a part of Canon's history. It is most affordable lens with f/1.2 diaphragm and build quality.

So, must have lens for all the canon's users. May be it is good choice for NEX users, but I know nothing about it.Read full review...

Amazing build quality and fast

Amazing build quality and fast. Very surprised how sharp this lens is being a vintage lens. Not only FF, but holds up in a 4K and 8K world. It is a bit heavy, but with the unique bokeh it produces, well worth it.Read full review...
