i owned the 'modern' Canon 50 1.4 with the electronic focus. but the lens design seems to be mostly unchanged (just the coatings). the bokeh from this series of lenses is super unique! i only sold mine due to poor focus control. i wish i could try one of the vintage canon's but its not possible (with EF system)
I am using a Canon FD 50MM on my EF with an adaptor which has a lens inline. Which makes it full range focus. Got mine used for $8. not $55.00. Need to set it to manual and take notes about the ISO shutter speed and F stops.
Whixh adapter did you get? Mine has the glass to allow infinity focus but up to f8 you see a hazy circle due to the adapter glass. @robertsaunders5740
I like it. Barrell distortion, vignetting, and catseye bokeh at some distances are borderline swirly, and it's still very sharp in the center. flic.kr/p/2qmEWwT

how does it stack up against your other 50mm-58mm lenses for character?
