Vintage Lens Review | Canon 50mm F1.8 FD
A concise review after use with mirrorless cameras (sample images provided)
3 min readFeb 28, 2022
READ ME: Discover why I highly recommend these vintage lenses for your collection! This review series focuses not on technical specs, but on the lens’ unique character, quirks, and my personal experiences with each.
Impressions: The classic nifty fifty. If you want a “safe” entry into vintage lenses, but still want enough character to tell that it’s different/unique, get one of these.
Size/Weight: Small, pocketable
Favorite Usage: Portraits, Video B-roll
Issues: Very very soft at F1.8, difficult to nail focus at wider apertures
