I'm not sure about this.  In my opinion FDs had much better build quality,
optics, and IQ than the EFs.  Funny thing is Canon didn't gain any ground
in
optical and IQ.  Even a simple comparison of Canon's overpriced 85/1.2 to
Nikon's 85/1.4 clearly shows most Canon shooters would rather have the
Nikon
because of the much better optics and IQ.  The list goes on.  Canon's
16-35/2.8L II is still a dog compared to Nikon's 17-35/2.8.  And now with
Nikon's 14-24/2.8 and 24-70/2.8 Canon is so far in the dust.  The EF
mounting system bought Canon nothing more than a cheaper and easier to
manufacture mounting system at the expense of sacrificing what their
customers want and need.
