I used a FotoDiox FD-to-NX adapter to fit this monster Canon FD 400mm 1:4.5 S.S.C. lens on my NX1. I was combing through vintage lenses at a pawn shop in Tucson, Arizona and was just about to walk-out after not finding anything of interest. The guy behind the counter said: "Hey, did you see this one". He reached behind a pile of old cameras and pulled-out this lens. It looked in excellent shape for a 1975 lens, so then I looked at the price -$30!! Are you kidding me?!
I now call this my M.O.A.L. (Mother of All Lenses)
This wider angle photo shows the points of interest for the two photographs below

ReplyDeleteThe pictures taken with it look so sharp, I wonder if any additional lenses are available on line for sale...
