Really liked the feel and looks of FD lenses but was never was much impressed by the basic FD wideangle lenses I owned (2.8/24 & 35mm). Recently I had a late generation (non-breech) FD 2.0/135 - a very fine lens! My camera store here in Vermont has a shelf full of fine FD glass. Too bad there is no decent (open aperture metering) digital full frame SLR body available for FD mount.
