Bored on a Sunday morning.
With the sale of Olympus imaging and it's potentially anticipated demise, I had wondered what M4/3 stuff I should look for, while it's still available. One of the things I thought of was a Canon FD-to-M4/3 adapter. Now, TBH, I don't and have never owned a film-era Canon anything. The reasons are unimportant, and to go into them would just derail an already random train of thought.
But, the lenses are out there, and reportedly some are pretty reasonable. So, I came to this fine forum to see what the assembled multitude had done and posted. I found largely crickets. A few showcase posts, but really not many, and easily fewer than Oly, Nikon, Pentax or even Pentax Takumar. So, are we just of like minds that Canon has left us "meh?" I looked at some of the lenses, and they really are not ... lovely. Utilitarian at best. None of the milled aluminum of the Nikons, the tiny grace of Pentax-M or OM lenses, and certainly not the artistry of the Takumars, not even the variety of markings that the newer Minoltas showed. Plain, black, boxy things with white lettering.
So, should I save the $20-ish for the adapter and watch for bargains elsewhere, or can someone in the know point me to a Canon imaging ugly duckling that will turn into the proverbial swan?
