Canon FL 55mm f/1.2 (Ed Mika Conversion)

(Not bad for a 40-year-old lens bolted to a hunk of brass cut down by some canadian guy in his back shed )

Ha! Yeah, what would we do with out Canadians whittling brass... Nice shot!

UPDATE:

I recommend getting a lens hood for times when you want to control flare -- the standard FL hood works (S-60), but if you're shooting on APS-C you can use the deeper telephoto lens hood (T-60-1) without it showing up in the corners of the frame. I have both.

The T-60-1 telephoto hood works great to control flare but I have noticed occassionally that it affects the light metering, so I have switched to using the standard S-60 hood more often.

This is shot with the Ed Mika adapted FL 55mm f/1.2 lens. It is a 15 sec exposure of the MAX train in Portland, Oregon. I discovered both Ed Mika and Gura Gear here on Canon Rumors.
