Pros: Sharp if you are starting at F5, the robust and compact

Cons: I don't like the lock/open ring nut that I often forget open

Opinion: Wide angle ideal for my Sony A7, built in the seventies in glass and metal but still fairly light, almost comparable as a building quality to the 20mm of Pentax (which however is more compact). The first useful diaphragm is F5, 6, needless to open more: the edges would be unwatchable. It is the only Canon lens that I possess and I find it unpleasant the lock/open ring that acts as a pre-selection of the diaphragm, on Sony is useless and annoying, apart from this this lens is irreplaceable when I travel and I want to remain light, the quality I consider very Good in relation to the focal and low cost with which it is on ebay.

Pros: Sharp in the middle. Sturdy, MF fluid bezel.

Cons: Not sharp at the edges used on the Canon M6.

Opinion: Very sharp in the middle, slightly soft edges (it was also on analogue machines). "Rediscovered" mounting with adapter on M6. Removed from the box where I had placed the FD with the two film machines I had held, still has a very fluid MF ring and has no defect on the lenses, a sign that I kept it carefully.

Pros: Great colors and good definition chidendo some sleep.

Cons: Soft at room temperature, suffers backlit.

Opinion: I'm using it on NEX5 and compesso performs well. Quite sharp at f/5.6 closing, even if the edges sin a little bit, but TA is not usable, my copy from a soft focus effect style. Great colors. Construction impeccable, use the dial MAF is a pleasure, but relatively lightweight at the same time. I do not comment on the price because I was given but from what I've seen is human.
