The aperture problem may be the adapter. Some FD adapters lens has lock and open key which are usually use to make the aperture works. The lost metal ball of the clicking mechanism does not affect the aperture open and close function, at least not with the original Canon lenses. What usually happens is that not having the ball the aperture ring does not keep the position selected returning full back where the spring pull it. Take a look back if still have it. Make sure the adapter is correct positioned when installing the lens.
Hi David, Very interesting video, I'm trying to decide whether to buy this lens or the Sigma Z, also 28mm f/2.8... Which of the two do you think is the best option considering that I want to attach it to a set of Canon nFD lenses? Thanks a lot
Thank you

I have no experience with the Sigma Z, so I couldn't tell you.
Very interesting and well researched.
Nice vidéo David, good luck.
Thanks man 😁
Does it fit on a sony a6000
I believe Sony a6000 is E-mount. You can get an adaptor for FD lens to E mount camera to make be able to use it.
