Variants of canon fd 35mm f2
  • jakepowelljakepowell

    So I'm on the hunt for a 35mm FD f2 lense . I know I want a thorium concave version the one with min aperture of f16 . But there appears to be several versions namely: Crome nose sc Then black nose sc Then sc with floating element focus system? Then ssc.I black fronted one with the newer ssc coating but still thorium concave element. My question is can anyone share their experiences on any and even better has anyone compared them to see the differences? I want to make the correct choice as I'm a picky and skint student so it's an investment for me... Thanks
