wow... great deal on the 24mm f/2, let alone TWO lenses.

AHHhhh, so tempting.

New FD or older FD?

 

[cdholden]

24/2 is nFD.
135/2.5 is the older breech lock mount.

The 135 is a classic lens.

If I was still shooting 35mm outdoors, I'd never give these up. The 24mm is about the same size as the f2.8 version, but slightly faster. The SC lenses never seemed to command much premium (because of their Bell & Howell affiliation?), but I've found this lens to be one of the best FD lenses I've used for compositions where I intentionally put something out of focus. Aw hell.. I'll say it. It's a BOKEH monster! It was great for plants and flowers when I used to wander the Everglades. I even took a few concert shots with it. It's only slightly slower than a 135/2, but considerably cheaper. I can recommend either of these lenses for anyone looking to get into an FD system.
