This was a kind of special afternoon for me, because I really tested my Vello FD-to-EF adapter in the field. The final cut images were made using an FD 28-85mm lens that I normally use with my Canon AE-1 SLR camera. The rest were made using the 40mm EF. I think you can tell pretty easily by the quality the difference between the Vello-adapted lenses and the DSLR-made lenses. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with the quality of the images, and I even got a few of animals in my home that came out with exceptional quality! I think overall though, I would stick to EF lenses on the 60D body while on adventures. The manual focus only and guesswork with apertures was throwing me off when I tried to get some better wildlife in action shots. Plus, I feel that the FD lenses just perform better on the AE-1 body.
As far as the location, I’d like to explore the trails of Bond Park later in time, but for today it was nice to get out and just relax.
