I continue to test my assortment of old lenses with the Sony Alpha a7ii.
I have never used some of these lenses before. Today was a case in point:
I put a Canon FD S.C. 50/1.8 that my wife brought home from an estate sale
several years ago. The pristine lens was attached to an equally pristine
Canon A-1 camera.
While "testing" the lens on the a7ii, I found a new way to evaluate lens
quality. Wide open. Minimum focus distance. A fly for a resolution target.

Thanks for looking.
Critiques are always welcome and appreciated.
