Pretty good for an old lens, Johnny. The last one is particularly sharp.

It is such fun to experiment with lenses. You have put together a very nice series and the lens seems to work just fine.

Pretty shots with great color. They all look a bit soft to me, tho perhaps you intended that?

Johnny, I love these photos with the vintage lens. Makes want to go find some of the old FD lenses that are not made in the zoom range today. Thank you for posting these photos.

Thanks Greg, try it sometimes, but just buy one to start with to see if you like it, yes primes are the way to go by far.
Those old zooms weigh to much. A Good one to start with is a 50mm, a very useful Prime that is a blast to shoot, it needs to be a little too fast like a 1.4 or 1.7, 1.2's are a little pricey just to have fun.

These are simply beautiful, Johnny. I love the color saturation you get with the vintage lenses.
