p.1 #1Canon FD300/2.8 Converted...
Today, I tested my converted FD300/2.8 for the first time outside, and I'm really excited by the pictures I got from it
I'm seriously thinking about removing this lens from sale.
I was going to sell it at almost the half of what I paid because I feel it's too heavy and feared that it won't get to be used often.
I think I'm going to keep it for occasional tripod pictures.
I'm going to try with 1.4X extender tomorrow.
These were all hand held at F/2.8 with 1DsMKII. What do you think?

Brrrr. 
Have any photos of the workings?
I am finishing up a FD 50/1.4, myself.

but if u want to sell it contact me. i like that lens so much i could use 2 of them. with the converted lens it frees my adapter for use on another lens and body. can u still stop down that lens? i tell u i just got my 5D MKII, the shoots with that lens are devastating a match made in heaven. the 300mm bring out all of the resolving power of 21 mega pixels.

Hi Guys
I've got the FD-EOS converter and use it on 300 and 400 FD Lenses. I'd be very interested however in having the contact address of who chipped it for you, and also whether it does AF confirmation -- although I don't have too much issues with Manual focus when using a tripod. No way can I hand hold the 2.8 FD 400 MM lens. I'm certainly interested in having the 300 MM lens chipped if it's possible.
I'm off on a trip to SEOUL S.Korea soon anyway so I could take the lens with me.
Could you post the contact or PM
Cheers and great pix BTW.

BTW, he will not put the confirmation chip for you.
I've asked him also, and he said "No".
He just convert your mount to EOS, so you can use on Canon DSLR without an adapter.
