I suggested him to check the focus ring and he found there was 1mm distance, He dissembled it again and finally fix it. You can try it again since you know how to dissemble it.

It works amazingly well, and the images are super-sharp, if not a bit soft wide open. I have had to take one of the lenses very much apart to fix the broken A-M selector (using epoxy to glue the metal post to keep the blades closed). It was ok to do this because a ring that is connected to this selector was missing.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08801031296678540838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577546745078520453.post-49761405556688841172011-02-08T10:28:57.663-05:002011-02-08T10:28:57.663-05:00Nice trio :)Nice trio :)Olesku.plhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17227576863342409914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577546745078520453.post-24949101382812472832010-11-25T13:29:33.600-05:002010-11-25T13:29:33.600-05:00Paul, I think all FD 55mm f1.2 are breechlock moun...Paul, I think all FD 55mm f1.2 are breechlock mount. I have a 50mm f1.2 nFD, which has a stuck aperture and I haven't used it yet.<br /><br />Both the 55/1.2 SSC and FL 55mm f1.2 have 8 aperture blades, and I think the nFD 50/1.2 is also.<br /><br />I do like the 55/1.2 SSC. It's heavy and large, but a fantastic lens. I can only imagine the 55mm f1.2 Aspherical version to be even better.Lens Bubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06445561503570800312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577546745078520453.post-25365649954448588302010-11-25T09:16:15.710-05:002010-11-25T09:16:15.710-05:00Very nice images.

It looks more pronounced in the last pictures because the surrounding is brighter than the middle. I have included a 100% crop of the center, in my gallery.
