Canon FD 24mm f2.5 - Lens review
The Canon FD 24mm f2.8 was the other lens I borrowed from a friend in 2018, along with the 100mm 2.8, when I was first getting into vintage lenses. Yes, I know, I was a little spoiled. Anyway, I've never been much into wider focal lengths, you know, 21, 24, 28mm and such, even if I'm often around there when using zoom lenses. I don't know, maybe it's because I shoot portraits a lot, so I tend to gravitate towards longer lenses. Using this lens made me realize that wider lenses are not bad at all, especially opening up to that f2.8 and getting smoother backgrounds and isolating the subject, while incorporating more of the surroundings. Even if everyone is constantly talking about Canon FDs, I was still a little bit surprised because the quality you get from this lens it's really something, especially if you consider the difference in price between a lens like this and a modern one with the same specs. As most vintage lenses, it is a little bit soft wide open...
