We are testing the Canon FD 55mm f/1.2 S.S.C - a vintage Full Frame lens, that is optically close to the legendary 55mm Aspherical & K35 Cine Lens of the same focal lengths… but lacking the Aspherical element. The K35 have been used in iconic movies like Aliens and Barry Lyndon, and they are very popular as the are one of the view vintage cine lenses that cover full frame / vista vision sensors. The Canon FD Aspherical are ideal candidates for cine modding or rehousing that had an amazing development in value over the last years. Can the 55mm S.S.C. hold up?
Taken from our epic episode "Canon FD & K35 - Legendary cine lenses on a budget" where we build a Canon FD "Dreamset", with history, modding, test, talk about radioactive Thorium and so much more:

I have Canon FD 50mm 1.4 S.S.C for couple of years now. I got it for $80. I just love the vintage looks it produces. Some of my videos for my client were shot with it and they absolutely loved it.

We will continue longer form in the future. In our LENS ARCHIVE.m you’ll find “stand alone” versions of every lens we have tested. For your convenience, and for discovery. We start with 14 lenses and add the rest over the next weeks, including the Mamiyas, Contax Zeiss, Ultra Fast Lenses… and of course, lenses we test in the future will be added then. You can find the MEDIA DIVISION LENS ARCHIVE in a playlist of our channel page www.KZfaq.com/mediadivision We have to do things to reach a wider audience, and the last couple of massive episodes show, that long form alone is not the answer. We will also launch an other short form (5min) playlist with all things not lens test related.

@@MediaDivision You should absolutely go down that route, I have to admit that, although I ADORE your longer form videos, I typically have to wait until the weekends to dedicate enough time to sit through them. Many people wouldn't do that, so having smaller bite-sized videos will absolutely attract a larger audience, which you deserve!!!

So out of curiosity, how does the look of these Canon FD 55mm f1.2 lenses compare to the Canon EF 50mm f1.2 lens? What about the Canon EF 50mm f1.0 (assuming you now have access to that one between now and when you recorded the segment where you briefly discussed how expensive it was in the f0.7 episode)? I know that the Canon RF 50mm f1.2 is extremely clinically sharp and has basically none of the Canon FD lens characteristics, but I'm curious if the same is true with EF versions.
@MediaDivision
@MediaDivision 4 ай бұрын
I don't use a EF 50mm… any of them.… so, can't give you a sophisticated answer. We can talk about general traits of vintage lenses and some have more, some have less of those. At a higher stop and without the characteristic flares, you will probably not see a difference.

I have had an exc+ copy of this lens for a few weeks, partly based on your review of FDs, and neither my manual nor my wireless follow focus can handle this lens because the focusing ring although smooth is hard to move. The cog jumps even after tightening all pretty strongly. Is this something usual in these lenses? any workaround? Thank you

all my FDs move with normal light resistance. Try to regrease the focus helicoid, but if the barrel is warped through a fall etc that is that.
