I only had the 50/1.8, a 28/something and later on got some kind of Vivitar zoom. I still have them all, plus the Vivitar 2000 flash I got. The camera and lenses are back home in Tennessee but I have the flash here with me in Japan. Still works just fine, 25 years later.
Nostalgia alone isn't enough to get me interested in branching out my Gear Acquisition Syndrome and LBA to include the Canon/FD stuff, though.
At this point in time your background has become very confusing. You are in Japan, yet you mention Tennessee. I take it you are of US "origin"?
