Re: Onion Rings

After reading the thread, I pulled out my FD 500mm 1.4 SSC as well as my EF 50mm 1.8 and EF 50mm 1.4. I shot all three with the EOS R on a tripod with appropriate adapters.

I bought the FD lens in 1976 just in time to miss the July 4 bicentennial. It served me well for about 20 years with my Canon FTb film camera.

I think all three are pretty sharp with the FD lens a hair softer. I did not see any donut bokeh.
