That's the way the FD mount works. The blades stay closed until mounted on a camera (or adapter). My first FD lens also freaked me out. The FD300/4L is a new FD mount, so it will mount very similarly to a standard bayonet mount lens (just line up the dots and twist on). The original FD mount doesn't mount like a bayonet, but rather like its breech mount would normally be operated....you interlock the breech then tighten the ring around the connected parts. The nFD basically takes that breech mount locking mechanism and makes it (for the operator) like a bayonet mount.
