Hi
Does anyone have experience working with a canon fd lenses and sony vg20?
I realized that the fd lenses are old. How comfortable working with them? Have an effect on image quality?

Thank you!

They work just fine! Check out some test footage shot on a FD lens:

You just need to manually focus (and change the F-stop) when you use them - making a follow focus a nice thing to have. I think the bokeh is quite nice using the 35-105mm zoom...
