In short

Nowadays CANON LENS FL 50mm 1: 1.4 Canon Camera Co., Inc. interesting with a large relative aperture (high aperture), which can be used for artistic purposes. At F / 1.4, the lens is quite good, there is a good resolution in the center of the frame, but the lens is very afraid of flare (example) and clogs the image with a large number of chromatic aberrations (example). CANON LENS FL 50mm 1:1.4 Canon Camera Co., Inc. creates a picture with a classic planar-like pattern, characteristic of a large number of similar class 50 / 1.4 lenses in the 7/6 diagram.

FL and FD/FDn series lenses are the easiest to use on mirrorless cameras (original series cameras APS-C CANON EF-M, APS-C CANON RF-S, Full Frame CANON RF). On SLR cameras of the system Canon EOS EF this lens is difficult to use - in order to be able to focus on infinity, it is necessary to use an adapter with a corrective lens.
Mirrorless digital cameras have given a second life to these old lenses.

How to use FL/FD/FDn mount lenses
To use a Canon FL, Canon FD, or Canon FDn mount lens on modern mirrorless cameras, you should use the appropriate adapter:
- Canon RF/RF-S: adapter FD/FDn/FL -> RF/EOS R
- Canon EF-M: adapter FD/FDn/FL -> EF-M/EOS M
- Sony NEX/ILCE/IMCE/FE/E: adapter FD/FDn/FL -> NEX/ILCE/FE/E
- Nikon Z: adapter FD/FDn/FL -> Z
- Panasonic L / Sigma L / Leica L/T/TL: adapter FD/FDn/FL -> L
- fujifilm x: adapter FD/FDn/FL -> X/FX
- Samsung NX: adapter FD/FDn/FL -> NX
- Micro 4/3 (Panasonic/Olympus): adapter FD/FDn/FL -> M4/3
- Nikon 1 : adapter FD/FDn/FL -> N1
The adapters are suitable for FL, FD and FDn mount lenses, these mounts are backwards compatible. But using lenses with a Canon FL / Canon FD / Canon FDn mount on SLR cameras is difficult due to the long working distance. In such cases, a corrective lens adapter must be used, which will degrade the image quality.

A good lens with a beautiful picture, but poor contrast. On the other hand, if you catch correctly diffused sunlight, you get a fabulous picture)
І bokeh garne: there are tobi and kruzheltsyata, і lemons, as if lightly drunk correctly. Good lens. Slope є slo, signifi cantly better than optical plastic, which at the same time panuє everywhere.
Kudos to the author for looking back.
Poseo un objetivo identico al mostrado.en esta nota-Muy buena,excelenteObservo que el Diafragma se mantiene abierto.No cierra al valor determinado y la palanca para determinar la profund. de campo tampoco actua. Como se explica esto. Sera que el diafragma esta atascado
Por supuesto, esto puede deberse a una falla mecánica. Puede haber otras razones para este efecto. Es mejor ponerse en contacto con el reparador.
I also like FLs, although I have 55/1.2. A very bold drawing. The previous FL 58/1.2 are also good, but they generate a lot of noise.
