Today I found a Canon FD 50mm f1.2 for my NX10 :-)

Hello,

I'm patiently waiting for the NX20 successor to upgrade my NX10 (not buying each generation is kind of a cure for my Gear Acquisition Syndrome). In view of NX20 and NX300, I'm now pretty confident in the fact that NX30 will be perfect for my needs: I love my NX10 but I want a better EVF + a faster AF system + Clean ISO1600 + Focus Peaking.

About lenses, I think the 45mm f1.8 will sooner or later join my 16mm + 30mm. I'll try to wait for NX30 so that I can try negociate a combo.

In a word: I was not planning to buy any new equipment these days but today I saw a Canon FD new 50mm f1.2 in a secondhand market and the seller was ready to sell it to me for 60 euros... The lens was in very good condition... How to resist ?

Sorry for this long uninteresting story but I needed to share my enthousiasm ^^


I haven't yet gone out with the lens but I did a few test shots in the garden: a bokeh comparison (f/4, f/2.8, f/2, f1.2) with no processing (no noise reduction, clarity at 0 in LR3.6) and a "macro shot" (at f1.2).

f4

f2.8

f2

f1.2

I know this lens is not as popular as the L version, but I'm gonna love it for creamy b&w portraits

Have a nice day !
