It would sure be fine to see some Canon FD lens tests when the cameras start arriving, especially the f1.4 50mm and f4 17mm primes. Thanks in advance.

It just depends on what I can beg borrow or Ebay.

I have a whole FD prime kit (20, 24, 28, 35, 50, 85, & 135) and a few FD zooms (CF 28-85, 100-300) that I will be testing with #234 in early October. Might be able to arrange to loan them out for a test earlier if it works out.

I get my Red in October too, If you'd like to test them Khmuse you can, we just need to have a chat first, I'll probably want to format and edit the reviews so they conform to the other lens tests (I won't change your opinions, I promise) but I would like to maintain a certain amount of consistency. Think you're game?

Hi Evin,
I am absolutely game and agree that making it match the format of the other lens tests would be wise. I will be putting them side by side with some PL mount cine glass to provide a reference. I am not certain how much effort it will be to swap out mounts, so I might enlist a second body to make the testing go a bit quicker.
Feel free to PM me at any point and we can discuss the details.
