Curse You, eBay!

How in the world could I possibly resist an FD 300 f2.8L for under $300?

Isn't there a 12 stop (oops, step) program out there somewhere?

But I will enjoy it.

Have Fun,

wow, post some picks when you get it, I am eager to see the results.

Look like you will have it covered from 200 -600

Seems like an incredible deal. Hope you have good luck with the seller.

Hope this turns out OK. I have one the same date code UD1203 about 150 higher in the serial number. This lens was made in 1989. B & H currently has one rated at an 8+ on the 10 point scale that they want $1699 for, and another rated 7 for $749. Mine rates at about a 9 but I don't know that I could part with it. Good luck with your purchase. Let us know how it turns out.

You have a disease, but thats ok, many others are afflicted as well.

scratches on the actual lens itself? how much would that cost to remove, if you could?

Will it fit an EF mount ?

Yeah:

for a second i thought it was an EF (!)... i obviously just scanned through the first post

i saw that, probably not worth it...scratched glass - at least as bad as it looks in those pictures - would need replacing...

Could be expensive to fix .... Great for parties though

How about an FD -> EF adaptor ?

The listing states scratches to the coating, and the buyer (who has a feedback rating over 2500) will accept returns if it is not as described. If they are just in the coating they may not affect the IQ. I could also consider having it professionally polished and still be ahead.

Have Fun,
