Re: Canon FD 85mm f/1.2L tested against Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM

After being banned twice from DPreview without any clear justification I gave up on posting here but perhaps it's time to reconsider. I continue using Canon FD lenses on Sony a7R II, but now via Techart LM-EA7 autofocus adapter and another Novoflex FD-LM adapter. Fully-opened the Canon FD 85mm f/1.2L performs as expected - not technically perfect but interesting, sharp in the center and dreamy elswhere. Just a few examples of my dog photography.
