What do you mean, uninspiring? Each focal length has its use, and it is up to a photographer to come up with compelling imagery. No focal length by itself will lend you a helping hand :)

Absolutely nothing special. Seems like a good technical lens.

Makes me think of "Wild at heart" :)

That's the reason why I am saying to stay away from filters. The lens front element reflects into the filter, and it causes havoc.

Try to stay away from filters. Get a screw-in telephoto hood from eBay. It’s gonna cost you like $3 or something

Unfortunately, this is the only option for canon lenses  however... if you buy a non-electronic adapter for $15 and get some Contax c/y lenses with canon adapter, results will be much better and ...

As much as I like 7art 1.1/50, this one doesn’t tickle my fancy. This lens is not optimized for wide open photography, the contrast is too low.

You will be surprised how sharp it is  just keep it away from stray light.

It is Fuji glass that brought Hasselblad to its knees. As good as this camera is, why would I downgrade to the inferior optics?

Lol that’s certainly convenient. From what I remember. There are two lenses in the R system: super Angelina 2.8/28 and Schneider  curtagon 4/35. Both are excellent. 4:35 is somewhere around $500, ...

Eos lenses do not have an aperture ring  so, to get full functionality, you need an electronic adapter. That would be novoflex.

Seems like it's working as intended. Now it is time for real photography.

you better believe it

yes, if this is 2.7, it can cost like $7000-$8000

Fed-I, a crude copy of Leica II, was the people's camera in the USSR before the WWII. They made millions of them. Massive numbers of fakes started surfacing in the late 90s, as it is pretty easy ...

Oh, in that case, it is definitely Leica II, but I can't be sure of the particular sub-model. The lens, however, is not original and most likely worthless. I think it's an early Hugo Meyer, but ...

Just a little handy cheat sheet

there are some excellent shots in there

if you mention that this camera is used professionally, should be no more than 2 weeks.

If it is white, the model can be definitively identified by the serial number. If it is yellow, than it's a fake made of an old FED-1, most likely PE0150 model. Although the lens looks like a legit ...
