Today I got my very first legacy lens, a Canon FD 135mm f3.5 (from 1981 no less!).
Since it's a lovely day I decided to take a walk through Copenhagen Zoo and see how I'd get along with it.
I have to say it was a complete joy to use, I definetely had some misfocused shots, but I got a nice set of keepers, and the focal length is just about perfect for this Zoo, it would have been too long if I had used the lens on a m43 body.
Focus peaking/magnification and exposure zebras work like a charm, I wouldn't mind a better eyecup and in body stabilization, but I guess that's something to make me upgrade to a potential A7000 later.
All shot as jpeg/standard with +1 contrast and auto DRO, cropping and minor adjustments in Lightroom.
