hi guys, i was offered by a good friend with this canon fd 55mm f1.2 SSC lens, in a very very good price, (50usd). that said, i quickly bought it and the lens is on its way might recieve it by tom.
what are your thoughts about the lens and experiences?
is it any good wide open? i mean, its a fairly huge aperture for a 100mm (35mm equiv)
I think that you owe your friend a few hundred dollars
I have a copy of this lens (non-aspherical), but I haven't used it much on m4/3 yet because it really doesn't balance well on my E-P1. My copy is very sharp stopped down but probably no more so than the new FD 50/1.4. I find it hard to find a reason to want to use it over the 50/1.4 due to the size, but for the price you paid you've got a great lens at an amazing price.
For "50 bucks" you got steal and if in good condition watch that 50 turn into several hundred in the future as more people turn from the DSLR to the 4/3s system and ease which cheap lenses give fantastic results.
Who needs AF? the focussing on the GH1 is dead easy and for the price of the 14-140 you can get a bag full of lenses, albeit you lose 28mm... but a cheap 14-42 will do, anyone for a Vivitar 100-500f/8.... 1000mm at f8 lol!
