i saw in other threads anons saying that more people should make threads for their photo sets rather than fill /rpt/ with them so here we go
last week I got a haul of vintage canon FD lenses from a thrift store for a couple dollars. every image I post in here is taken with one of those lenses adapted to my Canon R7 APS-C Mirrorless. Most of them are taken with a Canon FD 50mm f1.8 that was in poor condition before I took it apart and cleaned it. every photo was then edited in lightroom (some lightly, some heavily) and compressed. This was my first time really using manual focus so no guarantee of sharp focus.
I plan to shoot with these lenses more so I will update this thread as long as it stays alive. I encourage others to post their photos taken with vintage lenses on modern bodies as well!

Mirrorless makes it so much easier to adapt old glass. In the case of Canon's FD lenses, they weren't even adaptable to EF bodies, so now they can be given new life.I'm a fan of the C/Y Zeiss series. Picrel is from the Sonnar 135mm f/2.8 on a Canon R.

I'm glad the vintage glass hype has died off and prices returning to sane levels.
