Since it is a time consuming conversion, this is a very valid question. My motivation was:
Weight: EF = 1,025g (2.3lb) ; FD = 680g (1.5lb)
Compactness: EF = 84mm ; FD = 71mm
Manual Focus of FD is great
Cost: EF ~$1,000 / $1,500 ; FD = $300 for an E+ copy
The other reason was that it is a fun project.
