Showcase Canon 35mm f/2 FD

Excellent composition's great B&W

 

Nice B&W's......

Just curious....what version of the 35mm is it....the SSC or the nFD?

A few from Houghton Mill, last one wide open. This is the S.S.C. version.

 

Awesome BW photo. What an inspiration!

 

selective colour

Of course I love the BW with selective colour. How did you do this?
Also, I am interested in getting some Canon FD lenses for my EPL1. Where did you get your adaptor or are you using your Canon manual SLR?
Thanks!!!

Hi Jeremy

I have posted a link on the images section explaining how this was done. Image was taken in colour with a Panasonic G1 and adapter was from ebay.

Cheers

i love your shots luckypenguin! i don't know how much pp was done in the above but it looks like a very punchy lens! a quality i love! sure your not a sales rep?

 

Thanks Kosta. I tend to have a standard amount of PP I do regardless of what lens I'm using - mostly just adding some contrast and saturation and a little sharpening. I generally prefer that "puchier" kind of look as you describe it, but it depends on the photo of course. When I put some photos together for these Image Threads I like to include a couple of B&Ws and some more processed photos. #6 is a straight conversion using the "Grainy film" art filter. #7 obviously has had a fairly significant saturation boost :smile:

 

I see some stunning fabulous images

 

This is a STELLAR image - well done!

 

Finally have a working adapter! Here's one from my copy of the 35 f/2

Which model is your lens, Abram? New FD, convex breech-lock, concave breech-lock?

 

It's the New FD version (bayonet mount)
