FD Lens resource

FD Lenses, at least the Canon ones that I have, are cheap and potentially of beautiful vintage quality.  I usually use this website as a cross reference to check the specifications.

This, ebay, youtube and vimeo are a great way to research a lens I think :)

Getting an FD lens to work on an EF camera:

Noktor - f/0.95 aperture

Beautifully fast low light response, hideous bokeh at $750..

Solution a) spend $11,000 and get a Leika f/0.95 instead
Solution b) wait for a better camera with higher iso but as flexible and alias free as the GH1
Solution c) use this lens when it's appropriate and don't when it's not.
