[@philhunt1442]

How do you open and close the iris without mounting the lens?

[@TechLegend-com]

You need to press on the aperture pin.

I use this and the FD 50mm 1.4 on my sony, the in body stabilization and viewfinder zoom make an awesome combo. All I need now is an FD wide angle and I'll leave the FD adapter on 24/7...

There are plenty FD wide angle lenses available. Look for the Tokina 28mm, those are cheap and good for daily usage.

Hi, great video! a question for a beginner: i shoot photos using a Canon t70 from the 80s (without stabilization), do you think a tripod is required to use this kind of lens?

[@TechLegend-com]

Sorry for the late reply. It depends on what you need from the camera, with such a large lens and a film camera, a tripod is recommended.

Excellent review!! Thank you, my Brother

Thank you!

I recently bought a Canon FD 70-210mm F4. It doesn't focus to infinity when it is zoomed in. It has no issues when it's on 70mm tho. Is it a common thing? I mean that's how this lens works? Macro mode works good tho

[@TechLegend-com]

Check to see if the focusing ring works well in both directions.
