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.

pics of the lens

I'll try to post the picture of the lens tomorrow.
The lens is at my house at the moment.

Couple pictures of the lens.

How do you like my custom front cap?

On the rear the black area is that original or placed there by the company that did the convertion Looks neat

Paul,

Nicely done. Both the adapter and the cap.
Thank you for the pictures.

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

Sorry what I meant was the conversion mount was nicely done.

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?
