In typical Canon FD built fashion, the FD 20mm f2.8 is well put together and handles smoothly, despite its age. I had the auto focus version of the 20mm f2.8, which I, and many others, do not like much, and I wonder if its design was derived from the FD version. Both have a 72mm filter thread. At least on the NEX-6, the corner sharpness seems a bit better than the EF version, but I could be mistaken, as I used it on the 1.3x sensor before, and the corners weren't very good even stopped down. Overall, I am happy with the FD version on the NEX-6, however, on my very preliminary two day use.

I have the same problem too!
ReplyDeleteInterested, which is better, the Sigma 19mm f2.8 or Canon 20mm f2.8 FD?
I haven't compared them, but I would put my money on the 19mm, being a modern lens with new design and new tech.
