    It’s on my film camera, so I will need to finish the roll before I know how it shoots.

  • @DartzIRL

    I have one of these with an April 1981 production code. I suspect it might be a production sample or something - it came in its original wrapped box and didn't seemed to be used in any way - but the paint was worn in some strange places and there're a few strange things on the mount that stood out. Maybe it was something handed to magazine reviewers back in the day.
    It's also the second one I've bought.
    The first one was utterly written off. The glass was fine - but every single bearing and bushing in it had turned to mush so it couldn't hold focus or zoom. I've had the same thing with a couple of Canon Zooms from the era too. They're too easily trashed.
    Weight is fine on a heavier body like an F-1 or T90 - it counterbalances well.

    • @danienelphoto
      @danienelphoto  4 місяці тому

      Interesting! Sounds like a technician Frankensteined it :) I haven't worked FD lenses too hard, so don't know how they hold up. I try and buy ones that aren't too badly used.

    If it wasnt for these old canon lenses I'd be shooting with my Sony kit lens and my iphone all the time lol. These have been a game changer for me and I shoot most of my content with vintage canon lenses.

    Just picked up the lens at a trift shop, was gonna use it on my Canon dslr, what lens adaptor did you use? Secondly, do yo need an adaptor with glass optics? Great video, very inspiring.

    • @danienelphoto
      @danienelphoto  4 місяці тому +1

      Hi - thanks so much for watching! K&F Concepts makes nice adpaters in my experience - so the EF-FD is what you would need. Unfortunately if you wish to be able to focus to infinity, one with a glass element is necessary, as far as I can tell. There are without glass elements, so maybe it has been redesigned! I think however, you will need the glass optic one, if my current understanding is correct. I ised one with my 5D4 DSLR and to be dead honest, it was not nearly as bad as people said. In fact, bar some very small bit of edge softness, the adapter was fine. The name of the brand of that one escapes mez though!

    I got the canon ae1 with this lens for my birthday and i was wondering if it would be worth it to buy the fd 50mm lens in addition, do you think the 50mm is better or is the one I already have enough? Because 50mm is within the zoom range so I don‘t really know if I actually need it

    • @danienelphoto
      @danienelphoto  4 місяці тому +1

      Unless you want the wider aperture, to maybe shoot in lower light, or you want the more blurry background at F1.8 of the 50mm, this lens will do fine. Some people just like the feel of the prime lenses a bit more, but from a usability standpoint, the zoom is great for covering a lot of subjects.

    I have this lens... It is not parfocal at all.... The canon groups on FB will also state the very same that its not parfocal.. Why its even mentioned is absurd and misleading

    • @danienelphoto
      @danienelphoto  6 днів тому +1

      Not the intention to mislead..., especially since I am not selling or promoting it.
      There are many online forums where this is suggested and thus I examined it, and you can see as well what my conclusion was. However, to correct your mistaken assumption, this is in fact a discussion that was had on FB groups where I participated in, and true to form to discussions like these, some claimed it was enthusiastically, and some held your view, enthusiastically.
      A quick intermet search would show this is in fact a topic of discussion, with this particular article claiming it is parfocal to 85mm.
      www.cined.com/ancient-optics-canon-fd-35-105mm-f-3-5-multi-format-zoom-introduced/
      Or
      www.flickr.com/groups/canonfd/discuss/72157634551287530/
      Or
      www.photo.net/forums/topic/395842-canon-fd-35-105mm-f35-lens-scales-interpretation/
      And
      www.canonclassics.com/canon-nfd-35-105mm-f3.5/10-110/
      There are scores more, but I think you should catch my drift.
      Absurd is a strong sentiment, and given the amount of discussion on it, probably ill-informed. You seem to also just be giving your opinion (an inalienable right, so please do!), but if indeed mine struck you as such, my apologies for causing you displeasure.
      I (sincerely) hope you were able to watch a video with more edifying results afters :). Thanks for checking out my review anyways and bothering to engage.
