If I try to frame a person's head in either lens, then I have to stand far enough back that the DOF is quite large, so I loose the nice blurred backgrounds. I may just be being dense, but it feels like the crop factor is limiting what I can do with the lenses. Wow nice list I'll check all of them out, thanks! | Bodies - 5D Mark II, T2i | Lenses - Helios 44-2, Sigma 35mm 1.4, Sigma 85 1.4, Sigma 70-200 2.8 OS, Tamron SP AF 1.4x TC | Lights - 430ex ii x2, Random 3rd party strobes **All of these are found in m42 mount, and adapt to all canon EOS cameras with an m42 to EF adapter which can be found for like $10 on amazon. I'd own each one of them if I had the scratch. Not all of those are cheap, but compared to their modern counterparts they are. Tokina Bokina - (90mm 2.5 macro lens), very nice macro lens, has 8 aperture blades, very creamy bokeh(that's why it's called the bokina!). Meyer-Optik Görlitz Trioplan - (100mm 2.8 lens), has the most ridiculous bokeh ever, is fairly sharp stopped down.

Jupiter 9 - (85mm f2 lens), has 15 aperture blades, pretty sharp. Tair 11a - (135mm f2.8 lens), has 20 aperture blades for awesome bokeh and is fairly sharp. Helios 40 - (85mm f1.5 lens), very narrow DOF, interesting aperture shape, 10 blades, sharp when stopped down All of them are good for portraits and have a unique swirly bokeh characteristic. My personal stuff: ​photos/jngirbach/sets/ Older FD lenses are so cheap for the most part because they are not easily used on anything but old FD bodies. These will cost more than FD lenses mainly because they are actually still usable on several different cameras. Common options are older Nikkors and Pentax screwmount lenses. These all degrade image quality to some effect, but that is one option.Īnother option would be to look for lenses that can be mounted on EOS without losing infinity focus. If so, one option might be to simply get an FD to EOS adapter that contains glass. Is the problem here that you have an adaptor that contains no glass, and so you have lost infinity focus with these lenses? I'm already using a crop sensor camera and with the added crop that my adapter creates, I'm left with a pair of lenses which are great for close focus photography of small subjects but not so good for portraits. The only issue I'm having is the crop factor. Incredible sharpness and stunning bokeh, especially from the 50mm.
