There is certainly an interest for EXIF data and IBIS.

Ed I am wondering what is your aim converting these lenses to EOS. When mirrorless was not available that made sense since the EOS mount has one of the shortest registration for DSLR. Not saying ...

This lens is being sold here. It is quite rare on the market. https://www.ebay.fr/itm/Very-rare-Canon-FD-14-mm-2-8-L/224336280102?hash=item343b7bfa26:g:LuQAAOSw55dgF8n1 Thanks for your interest.

Thanks for these insights. If you are looking for a cheap and inexpensive 24/25 mm you might be surprised by the old Sigma 24 2,8. I had to buy two copies since the first one was tilted but the ...

Reading forums I never understood how good the 20mm was. And at 200 € I prefer not to experiment like I do for a 50mm. Sorry, derailing the thread.

Excellent catch and light .

Nice!

Very nice 2 3 and 4. Atmosphere rendering is great.

Something crazily futuristic here. I like it .

1 and 3 are awesome.

I badly feel the need for a 35 when I carry a 50 for an outing. So that results in a three lenses bag with a 24 a 35 and a 50. I have somewhat solved the problem buying the 45. I do less feel the ...

Leaking purple,  glow.... hmm. Maybe worth buying another copy.

Could not speak of your copy of the 55mm filter lens of course. Wondering if this is not simply sample variation. Maybe there was more tolerances for the more plastic 49mm filter but you could ...

This MD 50 1,7 is a problem. Some swear buy it, others not so much. I did both. I had one of these (49mm filter thread MDII) and simply was not impressed. Quite weak in the corners wide open and of ...

I tend to prefer flat field lenses which facilitate landscape at infinity. But I must admit that a lens perfectly corrected for field flatness might have sacrificed another strength. My Minolta ...

An underdog : the MDIII 135mm 3,5 : Autumnal bokeh | Sony A7II | Minolta MDIII 135mm 3,5 @ f6,7

Nothing wrong with the very cheap Minolta MDIII 28mm 3,5. This is f4,5 handheld. Could it be any better? Sony A7II | Minolta MDIII 28mm 3,5 @f4,5

That is a fantastic contribution.

Excellent!

I did not touch the helicoid and I am not sure I could do it successfully. Since there is inward field curvature it could be a smart idea to be able to allow focus past infinity to improve corners ...
