Always wondered what the difference was between these two lenses. Thanks for sharing.

Those canon FD L's are just so damn beautiful. Both their image and their pure physical design.

@@calebbrunkow I'm a sucker for looks so yeah i was drawn in by the pure aesthetics of the Canon lenses, the red ringed L's in particular. Hence why my first SLR was a Canon AE-1P. I have also been a Canon shooter in my entire digital career so there's also that :P That being said, i've become more and more drawn to Nikon's 35mm SLR's and lenses lately, and i might just have to pick up some of those too.

i didnt knew all this differences, great video, thanks!

Amazing video, didn't know that the difference between the L and the non L were that minor. Would love to see a similar comparison with the Nikkor lenses. Like the 50mm 1.2 Ai/Ai-s, 55mm 1.2 S.C and/or the 58mm 1.2 Noct.

That’d be a really fun video to do as well. That 58 Noct is a real pricey lens though

I enjoy my L, but I also love my 55 SSC and nfd 50/1.4. Love them all!

Great review. The L image definitely looks cleaner.

I agree the 50/1.2 non-L is the better bang for the buck. I think a good point worth mentioning, maybe an unpopular opinion, but is anyone actually out there shooting narratives, commercials, paid work, etc. wide-open on nFD’s? Sometimes it’s appropriate, totally! Even on non-L’s it can be a desirable look that you can totally get away with. However, by the time you stop these lenses down to an appropriate aperture for most projects, they basically all match. Like Caleb said, the 50/1.2 L’s flares offer more “magic.” At the cost of rent. Great video Caleb!

Even better bang for the buckaroonies is the NFD 1.4

But do you shoot video/photo with them or something or do you just collection them?

@coach_yo the 85 is fantastic! I did a video a few years ago comparing the 85 1.2 to the Contax Zeiss 85 1.2. I’ve been wanting to make a video about my set for a while but I wasn’t done building it yet and also I don’t know what new I could offer the community, there’s already so many amazing videos on the FD’s out there

@@calebbrunkow I have not seen much on the “L” line, most of it is just general stuff about the FL and FD. Just cool to see the early retentions of the Canon L-Series. I’m a fan boy lol

so did you miss focus or not. if you're going to publish a video and make samples make sure to make the testing at least somewhat scientific. don't waste my time with that nonsense.

I’ve gone through the footage and photos multiple times now and I don’t believe I missed focus, the lens just appears to be a bit soft wide open which was very apparent in the close focus test
