Panasonic G2, Canon FD 75-150mm f/4.5 at 120mm, f/6.3, ISO 400.

Here is 100% crop without additional sharpening. The contrast is rather low because of atmospheric haze, but sharpness is good.

Great shots. Thanks for sharing! Are you sure the lens is a FD 75-150 f/4.5, and not a FD 70-150 f/4.5? If so, I have the same lens and am very encouraged by your results (I still don't have any results of my own as I am waiting for the adapter)

Of course, this is FD 70-150 f/4.5. My bad, I messed it up.

 

[leonberdi]

Thanks for clearing it up. This is very encouraging!

This lens turns out to be my no.1 lens for chimney photos. The picture is a little soft, but this is because of atmospheric haze.

I have one of these lenses, too. Just waiting for an adapter.

I got an adapter to use with Canon EOS, and shot a few pictures on my 7D. The lens seems to be pretty sharp. Not too sure about color as I really only shot a few macros while indoors.

Can't wait to see what I can do with it on my OM-D!
