Legacy lenses on EOS R: Canon FD 50mm f/1.2 'L' lens review with samples
On rare occasions I get tempted to test out particularly interesting legacy lenses (I don't often have the time to cover many of them, though). This very bright standard lens from 1980 still attracts high prices on eBay - how usable is it when adapted onto a Canon EOS R?
All pictures taken by me on a Canon EOS R camera.
