Canon FD: your thoughts?

[stephan_cautaerts]

My favourites: the 50/1.2L and the 135/2. The latter, I bought from Kermaier, by the way. I have used also for a long time 50/1.8, 20/2.8, 100/2.8 and 135/2.8. All second hand bargains. Actually using the FD-system only occasionally with an F-1n and still having a nice boxed A-1 for sale.

That is a steal! I regret having sold mine (and my 24/1.4 L) before I knew there'd be a micro-4/3 system to breathe new life into the old glass.

Still have my 50/1.2 L though!

I still have both; 85/1.2L and 50/1.2L. This super pair is a great addition to my Canon set.

Any suggestions for T90 servicing, including the famous 'eee' problem?

There is a repairman ("Steve") who fixes the EEE problem for $125. I forgot his last name ... who knows him here?

I haven't used him, however.

Thanks for the responses. On the offchance, I called one of the repairers that I've used before, here in the UK, and it seems that all will be fixed for £50!
The camera arrived today and ir's in lovely condition. I can see why people like them.
Best regards
