Vintage Lens Review | Soligor 28mm F2.8 FD

A concise review after use with mirrorless cameras (sample images provided)

READ ME: This review series will keep to a brief, to the point, bullet point format to give the low-down on these vintage lenses. I like *most* of them quite a bit, and would recomened most people to pick up a copy of any of these for themselves. This review series is NOT about the professional specs of the lens, but more so the character and my experience with them.

Impressions: Full review and first impressions were orignailly publsihed in a separate article series, you can read that here.

Size/Weight: Small, pocketable

Favorite Usage: Street photography

Issues: As far as I can tell, aperture is non-adjustable and is fixed wide open at F2.8 due to the Canon FD to Canon RF adapter. This was also true on my Sony E-mount cameras as well.

Notable Features: Heavy vignetting, decent center sharpness, soft edges, and a cooler image temperature.
