Pros: Mechanical and optical quality.

Cons: Anti-glare treatment and yellowing lenses.

Opinion: Blurry good at full aperture, with decent sharpness in the middle. A F/2 improves decidedly and from F/5.6 is excellent, comparable with the 50/1.8 today. Negligible Focus shift, minimum field curvature, chromatic aberration virtually absent: many goals of the last twenty years fail to pass this test! Among these we can also list the today's EF 50/1.2 L, which has unquestionably a better blur, but has some flaw in the correction of other aberrations. In the second-hand market there are lenses in perfect condition (although yellowed) at popular prices. It is certainly not at the same level as the Aspheric FD or L, but despite the 50 years elapsed, with a little ' patience you get beautiful images! Most of these lenses with time have yellowed and need to compensate for the dominant in post: Simply drop from 5500k to 4500k to get a neutral image in daylight. At full opening, in presence of strong contrasts, halos are present around the brightest parts. They disappear by closing the diaphragm at F/2: I think this problem is attributable to the poor quality of the anti-reflective treatments of the years ' 60. This lens protrudes within the mount a couple of mm more than the FD's and it is better to use a "Chinese" adapter that allows you to slightly bend the diaphragm lock lever inside.
