I first picked up an FD lens simply because it offered a fast aperture at a relatively low cost. It doesn\u2019t have autofocus, of course\u2014but thankfully the \u03b17 comes with focus peaking. Once adapted, the in-focus areas are highlighted in red, making it surprisingly easy to shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With focus peaking, you just turn the focus ring slightly to lock focus. The absence of a focus confirmation beep actually makes street shooting feel more \u201cinvisible,\u201d allowing you to blend in quietly. As an introverted, socially anxious person, what I fear most when shooting on the street is drawing attention\u2014so the silent, unobtrusive nature of manual focus is incredibly friendly to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FD50 was a lens Canon introduced during the film SLR era, designed for the FD mount, with several versions released over time. The one I have is the New FD version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though it\u2019s a 40-year-old lens, its performance still holds up remarkably well. Thanks to the coatings from that era, the images carry a rich, smooth, almost buttery rendering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
