    Default Does anyone use Canon FD mount SLR lenses? Pics added

    I have in my possession a beautiful Vivitar 135mm f2.8 auto telephoto lens that I have no use for. The FD mount were used on the F, A and T series film SLR bodies. These can be adapted to the newer EOS digital SLR bodies using an inexpensive adapter mount with corrective lens from eBay.

    I am a Pentax boy so I have no use for this wonderful lens. I was going to put it on ebay but figured I would see if any of you folks would be interested in it first. Figured I would post this here as not too many folks look in the for sale section of a fly fishing board for photographic equipment. This thing can be had really cheap.

    You have a PM. I am figuring you cover the postage and the lens is yours. These aren't the best photos but this lens looks sweet in person. One photo shows the only wear on the lens and it is on the focus ring. The lens is optically and mechanically sound. No scratches, fungus or haze. Focus ring and aperture work smoothly. These older film lenses had rich colors and are very fast. This one is an f2.8 - 22 They have a buttery smooth bokeh but a narrow depth of field. should make a good walk around lens, portrait lens and so on....
