The first thing that popped into my head was the movie "Tootsie" where the director asks the camera operator to zoom out a little and his reply was something along the lines of "How about to Cleveland?"

Someone commented that it was going for 55k. Compared to the 1200mm, it's a deal!

Use the savings and have a FD-EF adapter machined.
