Canon fast 50's for Fed 2?

[mabelsound]

Anyone here using the Canon 50mm/1.2 or 50mm/1.4 screw mount on a Fed 2? Do they couple OK? How do you like them?

Don't even bother telling me about the .95 ;)

The RF coupling of the Canon lenses is fairly thin, so you have to make sure the RF coupling connects up okay. My Nikkor 5cm F2 goes right onto the Zorkli 3M, but Canon 50/1.5 has a problem.

I've used my .95 on my FED 2. I was very happy with the results. The very wide baseline makes for more accurate focusing. The lack of very slow speeds was a small handicap from time to time. It took a long time to get the registration distance perfect.
