This is SO interesting! I have one of these and just tested it similarly. This is on a A6300 (APS-C) Bokeh is creamy and not busy in pretty much any apperture. It's sharp all over (APS-C) from F/1.8 to F/11, and from F/2.0 to F/11 it's as sharp as my Zeiss Sonnar 55mm 1.8 (Sony).

Thanks. Glad you like it. I am actually on my way to the tenth’s episode of the 50 lens tests. :D With APS-C you cut out the filet parts of the lens. But also the higher resolution shows more weaknesses. The older lenses are really very good stopped down a little bit. The Zeiss 55 1.8 is also on my list and will come at some point in future. :D

It’s a great combo. The F1 ist really a high quality camera and can also be used with waist level viewfinder (or no viewfinder at all). 😃👍

@@manugeeei’ll definitely be using it without a finder and just with the regular finder it comes with until i can afford the waist finder attachment, it’s my first lens and camera ever so i’m excited to start learning on it.

Of 1980´s analog 50mm Lenses, I think the Canon FDn 50mm 1.4 was runner up towards the Contax Zeiss Planar 50mm 1.7 T* which was the best.

During the comparison with the other 50mm lenses, i think the canon is really a very descent lens. Don´t know the Planar 50mm 1.7, but im am in the last steps of finishing the 70s Planar AEJ 50mm 1.4 video and also had a little comparison the the CAnon inside and in therms of wide open performance the Canon is definitely stronger. :)

Lately I got FD 50mm f1.4 S.S.C., also nice lens. I use it with Leica M240. Other, Summicron-R 50mm f2 v1, I like too.

that is pretty interesting combo with the SLR lens on a Rangefinder camera. What adapter do you use? Does it work with the Rangefinder?

I use Rayqual adaptor "FD-LM", it works with no problem, infinity is Okay. And I prefer small digital camera full size format body.

I have a nice copy of this lens from the original owner. Mine is much better at f1.4 . These are excellent lenses

Maybe a problem, that I have mostly not too many copies and cannot judge production variations and the performance over time. But in this case. I had a couple of the Canon nfd 50mm lenses but did not experience that much difference. Wide open okay, stopped down a little better. The bokeh is sometimes in midrange a little distracting, for my oppinion. But as you said. A really excellent lens, even today.

@@manugeee agreed. I had an s.s.c. version before this one. It was not as good wide open as my current one. I also have a 1 owner, perfect minolta md 50 1.4 it also is not near as sharp wide open. Ive had a few different brands but the canon is the best all around

Which viewpoint do you think it f1.4 open better, contrast, sharpness, Bokeh, distortion ? I have previous version FD 50mm f1.4 S.S.C., sure wide open image quality is low, but f2~2.8~4~, come little by little better.

I have good experiences with the K&F concept adapters. But check your infinity at first. Because I have one (the pro version) where infinity does not reach infinity. I dont know where you are from. So I think links to the german Amazon page would not be helpfull. ;-)
