Alexandre,

Besides the optics, if the housing is in good shape, I think it is a good deal. A good copy of the FD 300 f/2.8 seems to go for US $700 plus minus 50.

Goodluck,
Hanh

Stop down is no problem at all.
The mount looks pretty and neat in black.

The lens is at my house at the moment.

There is no adapter involved in this conversion.
The black end is the aperture ring placed during conversion.

I'm not sure whether I'll keep the lens or not.
It's very heavy, and I fear that I may not use it much.

If I decide to sell it, what would be a reasonable price for this lens?
